Shading Training

The highlight is too displaced to the right. Makes me think of a cone more than a sphere

[Dire_Wolf]

I displaced the highlight to right on purpose. I wasn't trying to make a sphere, but make the lightsource in that direction.

 

 

 

And what's a cone?

[Ouchy]

#-o Your joking, right? #-o

 

 

 

 

 

 

And your newest sphere is your best, I think. The colours actually seem to match. But it is still rough.

[Dire_Wolf]

Did you make that with Paint ouchy?

[Ouchy]

Hell no. Google Images, I was trying to show you what a cone looked like, as you asked.

[Dire_Wolf]

KK, well i used ms paint for mine. And i kinda find paint good, as you need to do most work yourself (Makes the final work, worth the struggle). :D

 

 

 

Ty for showing btw

[Ouchy]

I would suggest that you go to GIMP. It would be more versatile for doing things like this, and you have WAY more options to choose from. MS Paint is like a zit once you chance programs.

[Shiny]

Do not go to gimp if you are going to keep with pixelling. Gimp is not a pixel program.

[Estonian dude]

...Yes, but it can be very helpful and could be better than Paint at pixelling. Using layers while pixelling saves a hell lot of time.

[Dire_Wolf]

I have used Gimp for Digital arts, but i don't think i would be using it for drawing things. Maybe shading ;)

[Estonian dude]

Well, when you pixel on MS Paint, then it can be a pain in the [wagon]. Using layers is almost the only thing by which you should use GIMP, but it is worth it.

[unknowz]

Don't use Gimp for pixeling. Period.

 

 

 

Graphics Gale is a good free program for pixels though, has layers too.

Here's another shading attempt in MS Paint.

 

 

 

 

It's not spherical. A sphere wouldn't have the light source like that, ever. Move the primary light source down.
