Great demonstration (cool tunes as well). I drew along with the video and there were many "Oh, so that's how its done" moments. Obviously, I need to practice and consolidate, but I feel like there has been an achievement unlocked.

I feel like this is an improvement on my previous one. Focusing on the contour line helped. Not sure about the highlight though.

Amazing Sphere, it's like a White Billiard Cue Ball. Thanks for the Demo.. Was the demo drawn with the paper vertical or flat on a table? What's you thoughts with that respect? I noticed in your previous project video the cast shadow was drawn as an ellipse as you show here too. It kinda went wrong for me because the sphere looks like it was rolling off the cast shadow. What determines the shape of the highlight? This sphere shows it as a square, I thought it would be round in shape because the shape is round or is it more to do with a reflection?. Thanks Again.

Oh wow you actually do an ellipse around the sphere to set the direction of the core shadow. I'll keep this in mind for future exercises.

This looks great, I recommend just trying to have your pencil go in a singular direction for a seamless gradient.
