Stan, thanks for the intro to Light and Shadow. Here are some eye balls I tried to shade a while back. They don't look right any help would be great, thanks.
Stan Prokopenko
Those are good! Next up you should try putting those irises on an eyeball and make that 3d. That's very appropriate since we just learned about spheres. After you get the hang of that, the challenge will be putting those eyeballs into eye sockets, and wrapping eyelids around them in a way that you can still feel the round eyeball pushing through!

Hey guys, I'd like to know how correctly I handle the values ​​and shading of this egg so I can do more complex things like a semi-professional illustration.
Stan Prokopenko
You did pretty good handling your edges, but the shadow values are not nearly as dark as in the reference. This egg has complex lighting on it. If this is one of your first attempts at shading I recommend something more clear and direct with a single source. Try this egg:
