Well, yes. we could add some more layers there. If I were working on it as a project, I would even use the blur on it. But then - we will need to make a negetive shape of the ball and mask it out so that the mid-tone blurs stay within the 8 balls. :) Glad you dropped by, Steve. :)

But I like this tutorial. The only things I can say is that you used 3 levels of shading for the shadow, and only 2 for the 8-ball. Unless you're counting that small detail lighting, which... In my opinion needs to be dimmed down in accordance with the 8-ball's flow. Aside from all my picky picky things, I like this tutorial. It is well executed and easy to follow. A beginner would find this very useful when getting started to Inkscape (as in me, I can't vector). That was actually the first thing I was going to comment on – curving it…

Wanted to keep it simple - 'beginner level' remember? :P Thanks for dropping by, <strong>gusak</strong>.
