Chrome ball

I drew this from scratch following a tutorial. No imported material ..apart from the background photo of course.



Not too impressive for the time it took but glancing through the tutorial might show how involved it was.

I might try another graphic exercise tomorrow. This one kept me happy for hours.

Re: Chrome ball

That's very good Mart, the ball looks as if it's coming out of the screen straight at me!

Curiously brilliant. Reminds me of Magritte.

Looks like something from outer space.
I think there are Aliens inside . . .

I can put an alien in it. I didn't draw it, it's imported. Shows how the sphere (which I did draw) is made up of separate bits that can be removed though.

Re: Chrome ball

Doing that taught me how to do things I didn't know were possible in the program. I might find another exercise/tutorial to follow later. It's a clever person who finds out how to make these graphics in the first place.
