Love the colors @Asher ! The sewing looks a bit harsh compared to the overall soft look, also because it's extremely snapped to the pixel. I'd try making it 1,5px thick or off set it from the pixel grid on purpose? BTW; It's hard to criticize a shot by a true artist like yourself
I love the texture and feel of the notebook, but as already mentioned the stitches seem a bit too clean, and the pen's shadow makes it seem like it's floating.
Looks awesome! Just make the shadow a little darker at the top and bottom of the pen where it's actually touching the paper and it will fix the "floating" issue.
The lighting is actually coming from the top left hand corner in such a way that the shadow is elongated, looks more like natural lighting from a window, rather than studio lighting. I think this was the actual intention of Asher.

The stitches feel too 'edgy'. Don't ask me what that means.

Looking good. But, looks like that pen is hovering o.O

Love the stitching. Maybe tone the contrast down a little as @Haziq Mir mentioned.

The notebook is just gorgeous. But the pen looks too simple and so flat. I think, you need to fix that ;)

Looks nice! I think @Haziq Mir is trying to say that the stitches look to sharp and should be softened. :)

Looks nice! Are you using a dotted stroke for the stitching or manually drawing each one?

Very clean, and I'm loving the colours :)
