Photoshop - Shoe render opinion

[mattiag28274242]

Hi guys i'm trying to a render of a shoe in photoshop, and what I need is just to get your opinion to know if it looks good and realistic or if there's something to improve. I really appreciate you're attention for my work and you're suggestion, thank you very much

With »Render« so you mean there is an actual 3D model involved or is this an illustration?

Two points:

• There seems to be a gap near the front:

• The tip of the show seems to be elevated so the shadow would possibly be quite different.

As for the shadow: Assuming a flat surface it might look more like this:

And when viewed in detail it seems you mix soft and fairly hard masks or elements:

The gap in the front is a part of a shoe, I started with the image below. You've been very helpful for the rest, thanks a lot!

Based on the line drawing I suspect the »gap« is either the same material as the tip or some other textile, possibly leather.
