I really tried this time...

[griffy6]

For those of you who saw my last post (lizard and frog), I'm sorry. That was embarrasing for me as well as you the viewer.


Anyway, I am really trying to do this right and have been trying to teack myself basic shading. Thus, I made a little gray thermos to practice on. What I need to do now is add the bright part of the shading. Could you guys help me do this, and while you're at it fix up the shading? Help would be very appreciated.

EDIT:Check out my new avatar too. I shaded carefully and like how it turned out.

griffy I think you ought to take a break from pixel art and do several life studies of objects you have lying around, paying extra attention to the lighting.  If you are struggling so much with basic shading you really ought to concentrate on the fundamentals, we can't offer much in the way of advice for telling you where to put your highlights etc

I agree with Darien but I made an edit just for fun and practice sake:



I'll be happy if this helps you or someone in any way.

Basara's edit is quite nice, but the highlight on the top rim should come from the same direction as the general speculars. It should be in the top left of the circular opening.
