I'd like to know what you guys think about the way I make the torch light up the surroundings.

Pretty nice so far, but you'll need to work a bit more on the lighting. There are a lot of unnatural shadows around the torch. Place a pointlight and a boxlight lighten the room up.

Unnatural shadows? Explain please.
Of course I'm already using a pointlight, boxlight and spotlight.

The torch on the picture is a torch surrounded by a ball of light. This is not how light works in the real world.
The light will light up more of the room, but fade more and more until it's black.

The dark shadows. A light doesn't just stop somewhere in mid air. It goes on till it reaches a wall. I'm talking about the pure dark spots on the left and right of the screen

Edit: BeeKayK ninja'd me. But yeah, that's what I meant
