Hi Bonny- The location of the main highlight and dark toning are good but the sphere is very pale and it needs more saturation of tone. It also has a limited range of tones. This is where you want to apply the range of tones from black to the color of the paper that you worked on the tone bar scale on your previous post. I am confused by the two other spheres partially seen on the right. If these represent the cast shadow, the darkest part will start at the edge of the sphere and quickly transition lighter as it moves away from the subject. The cast shadow should just be a suggestion as you don’t want it to compete with the subject of the drawing. Keep experimenting and check out different in books, online and even here on the ArtFeed as reference. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I need to practice and just doodle around with the Faber Castell pencils. To me it seems like I’m laying too much down, not too little and each stroke feels like A COMMITMENT. I’m not ready for tomatoes!
I continue to experiment with Spheres!
