Disagree.

The real problem here is that you've pillow shaded the whole thing. Also, its fairly large. If you go much smaller, it may be easier.

how about this

Still pillow shaded. Also, learn to use hue shifting.

That's a more advanced technique, I think he needs to practice the basics first.

I believe the term is banding, and also inconsistency of light source.

The first means that your shading lines up so each shade is an outline of the previous, making the hole thing look odd.  To fix this, study materials to learn how light hits them and what shapes are made.  Cloth is one of the harder things to do well, so maybe practice with 3d polygons or something.

The second means that your shading is all over the place and sometimes contradicts.  The easiest way to fix this is to mark a direction in which the light is coming from and shade accordingly.  An easy way to practice this is by observing objects and shading spheres and cubes.
