Red Spheres

SPHERES

To start understanding spheres, we drew them in our sketchbooks. We looked at the shading of the sphere itself and their shadows. To the left are my sketches.

Photoshop Sphere:

In Photoshop we created a red sphere. This was relatively easy and it allowed me to familiarize myself with Photoshop again. In this tutorial I was able to make the sphere seem more realistic than in Illustrator because of the noise and blur I added onto it. To add my own touch to it I had the shadow separated from the sphere, so it looked like it was in motion. Overall I liked using photoshop again.

Illustrator Sphere: 

In Illustrator we also created a sphere. This was the first one we created on a computer program. I first drew the sphere and then decided where the light source would be coming from. After adding the gradient, I started on the shadow. I simply drew a gradient for the shadow. For my touch I put my name in it. In Illustrator it is easier to move through the layers than photoshop to me, however photoshop keeps me more organized.
