My photoshop mumbo-jumbo

[cDa]

OK peps as u all know i am constantly in search of ways to improve my Photoshop skills so ill use this topic to post my experiments,and to ask u about opinions on them


For starters im currently in "Draw 3D object in photoshop" faze

This shoulb be a Kristal ball (like those fortune tellers use?)

so tell me good/shitty/needs improvements/looks flat/looks 3d......

[Brains]

It needs some improvements..Fix the positions of shadows and light(from which direction is coming light) and to be honest dunno what for is that shadow across the ball...I thought u made this in some 3D program when i saw first time :razz: Anyway its ok for the beginning of "3D in PS" 

[Squeak]

Yeah, Maybe the shadows and maybe its just me but it looks a little "Flat."
