shading

we did some shading with some of our line drawings 

I didn't use a line drawing for this image however I did use a photographic reference to create it i had god a picture of the Rubik's cube and turned it grey and drew the outline then  I tried different layer effects to be able to give textures on to the cubes for example on the top left i used bevel and emboss as well as a inner shadow 

on this shading I had used paint bucket on tones relatively close to the colours tone to the colour I prefer this

techniques of shading because it seems more realistic as well as  it giving a shadow. the techniques that I used earlier have a line that is too crisp with this image it has slight curves that help show that its a 3-D object
