how come my screwdriver like this?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

ic, i just downloaded some free HDRI map from internet, and i guess hopefully after that, my rendering would have something like intended.
thanks nitroLiq for confirm.
