Take a round ball and expose it to two lights (one a full light, the other a fill light, like you've done here). Tocky's is much more accurate I think you'll find.

You will never be able to draw if you refuse to see.

It's more accurate, that's true, but the second lightst color, it's so.. not nice.. i dunno look at it, the shape of the shadow..

Forget about the shadow. Evaluate the piece as a whole rather than each part separately. Narrow your eyes and take a look. While both being pretty rough and sketchy, which one is more 3d ball-like? That's what matters more than single details.
