Starting out with shattered tut's, but I can't get the shperes down. When I am transitioning from dark to light, the second lighter stroke goes over the edge of the darker stroke maker part of the darker area too dark and gives it a wierd look. I thought I have all the right settings on, anyone can point out what I am doing wrong?

I have some DECENT spheres, but I am definitely doing something wrong here

its because of the opacity when you use a tablet, it depends on pressure
use different shades and colour pick by using ALt

K will do that, yeah my better spheres are a result of using ALT to change up the colors, that one there was with only one color trying to only use my tablets pressure

Updated sphere, much better (i obv see some stuff wrong). Going to keep drawing more until I get them down then continue on with tuts

the shadow should be behind, not to left cause of light
and you need more shading
try using a lower opacity hard or soft brush

Great update, keep it up. push that contrast

Yeah I noticed the shadow was defintly off from my light source. I am just going to grab one of my billiard balls and draw that from different angles for a while



Yeah was using 100% opacity for that, will try what, 70 sound good?




What does pushing the contrast mean exactly? Kinda new to this

pushing the contrast means making the darks darker and the highlights lighter
have on dominant lightsource, and make it really bright
never use complete white (#FFFFFF) or black (#000000) though

sorry i ment like, more blending
go like 15-20%? idk

Oh okay yeah I see, yeah that would make it look better.



off to work now, will be drawing more tomorrow, ty matties
