  • Question
    How do I shade the sphere when the lighting is in the back, rather than in the front, as you have here?

    Community Answer
    Just do the same thing, but on the opposite side. The lighting will be the same on the other side.

    What would it look like colorful?
    Community Answer
    It should look more or less the same if you use a colored pencil instead of a regular pencil. Try it and see what you think.

  • Question
    How do you do it without smudging it or using my finger?
    Community Answer
    Use a cotton swab or a tortillion. A finger would not smudge but it will get pencil on you.
