enjoy: It lacks shading and highlights, and should investigate what sparks from a hammer blow looks like. Google is your friend.

The hammer head needs to be remade, its missing the "shine".

Also the sparks should be redone if you want them to be more realistic:


They never go up in a curve unless you are hammering upside down, its either down or a straight course: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qfQ10QZJsr0/Swmlnl_othI/AAAAAAAABbU/j4kcaOQxhg4/s1600/sparks003.jpg

Hi.
The Hammerstick looks good,
but the Stone looks pretty unshaded, it looks like it's flat.
Try to make a light gradient from the light to the dark, via brush not via tool.
The sparks have to be more shiny, don't make them all the same color.
They have to be brighter at the head and the tail has to fade. Also they don't go up in a curve like EloTheMan said.
The Stone under the hammer looks a bit in the wrong perspective, it's almost not noticeable.

But keep going!
You just need more practice.

try improving the hammer quality XD, and the sparks aswell
