MrSimons · 12-26-2012

Here is what I meant. Also should've mentioned to make the shading flow a bit more.

I think you gotta visualize the heart as some kind of texture. Plastic, metal, etc. That way, you can work towards a more realistic shine.

Since you're starting off, I'd try to reference a photo for where to place highlights and shadows. As for the color, it's super red. I'd try a slightly more gray red; not like in the picture I linked, but like in the Graalians forum browser icon, the ying and yang symbol. That kind of red; not too dark, not too intense. I mean, you can still have intense colors in a piece, but in small increments so it's not overpowering.

Yeah, I'm trying to find that perfect shade of red. Thanks for the advice Latte!

Honestly I don't like using Graphics Gale, using Gimp or Paint.net is easy

Graphics Gale ain't bad. A bit complicated at first, a beginner like me probably be like "@#!#?!"
New heart, where can I add more shine??

Not shading it in the middle of the heart, and not making the shading so dark.

I actually kind of like the shading that way...
