Wow!! Cool!! But I would add a shadow to bangles links. It would look more realistic. So it seems to me...

Thanks for the feedback!! If you are interested in my opinion, I really liked the first ball. The second ball has no shadow. If interested, I developed the glass theme. I won a glassy human.

Another use the main idea of this tutorial From this To this

Thank you! The outcome will be even better if experiment with Gaussian blur. But it's all so individually. Eh... It's a great pity that the paint.net doesn't have a free transformation tool... it would easy make a transparent human head, if it be...

This is great! Thank you Goonfella! I realized what is missing in this tutorial. Last step. Create a new layer above. Select an area on the new layer that covers up the ball. Use Paintbrush tool and draw a shadow, like so. Do at the selected area a Gaussian Blur at a 50px radius. So it looks more realistic

It was just great! Although you saved on the highlights

How to draw toy dog in paint.net using Gaussian blur This will be the end result. Plugins optionally needed: Outline Selection Quadrilateral Reshape AA's Asistant This tutorial is not difficult, but rather lengthy. There are the links therefore. Tutorial in Russian Tutorial in English This tutorial contains various ways that can be useful for drawing other images using Gaussian blur in paint.net. There are a few examples of the other pictures drawn in this way.

А почему в этой версии два русских языка?

Magic wand is more powerful, more sophisticated and more universal tool than this effect.... But it was a good joke

Version 2.0 of my effect «cut color» 1. I changed the color tints defining algorithm. 2. The effect has now the third type of action - removing color as the background. Illustrative example. Let us suppose that we have a picture with soft edges. Suppose that we want to change the background color to black. So will look a picture, if you use the "magic wand" tool. Soft edges are lost. Let's use effect “cut color”. UI have new action «remove color as the background». The result is below Add below a new layer with a black background.

Thank you!! The outcome will be even better if you apply a Gaussian blur and gradients. But it is impossible to write a universal tutorial. It's all very individually. These are some examples that are made only Gaussian blur

Yes! At this forum published many tutorials about balls and glass. Because the sphere is a basic element of many images. In the case of this tutorial objective was the glass transparent Green Apple. How is it done? The basic principles described in this tutorial. In addition I have used other lessons in this forum, which we have lots of this sphere.
