2) Duplicate & line up in 3x3
3) Merge
4) Add 1 cube from source as guideline
5) Copy & Distort other 2 sides
6) Create table
7) Add shadows & dodge & burn to show sides of cube in the light/dark

Really great concept. It looks a bit rectangular than a cube . . . . .

The idea is good, but you have some problems. First problem is obviously the perspective. The front side shouldn't be a square. Yopu should distort it. Suggest you find a real cube and look at it. The second problme is a little more nerdy! I'm an old cuber and know how a cube is build. Yours is totally impossible. You can't have the same middle colour on two different sides. So no black twice! And you can't have a piece with two of the same colours. So the yellow/yellow doesn't work either. (And normally the black is an orange!!). Hope you change the things I soid. Would make me happy

like the idea, but if you see a square in front you could never ever see the top or sides

good job, but the shadows make it look like its floating above the table. add some more dark nearest the bottom to fix?
