First time trying to shade anything this complex. Tried this after watching @Josh Black ’s lesson on shading, after trying a few scenes with geometric primitives.
Spent several hours on it and feel like I learned a lot and started getting the hang of shading by alternating between the brush and smudge tools. Both were set to soft airbrush in Procreate.
Feedback welcome.

Some additional rework to better match the reference.

Here's how mine turned out! Despite some parts not being perfect, I'm still pretty proud of how this came out, considering I normally do a more cell shaded style of rendering for my personal art.

You mentioned that some brushes that you use in this course would be available for download. Is there a separate link?

You can see a downloads link under the lessons, that's where the brushes are
