Hello everyone,

How would I make this mouse more realistic?

I think I am getting there, but need help to perfect it, any advise?

Don't mind the other errors around the picture, only the mouse​.

    I think you need to be more precise.

    Hi

    I would

    1. Straighten the cable - copy a section and transform it

    2. Use curves to brighten right side of mouse

    3. Use a combination of curves and invert to light cable from each side

    4. Add a very subtle shadow

    The right side of the bag has a highlight indicating light coming from the right of the image. The right edge of the mouse is darker than the left edge. It needs a similar highlight, just not as bright because it isn’t shiny material.

    add a drop shadow. Go to you tube and search for "adding shadows in photoshop"

    Lots of great tutorial videos on the subject

    When mice hang by their tails, tails  do not coil like your.   I think you need to consider a different composition. At least a different perspective.
