Description A LITTLE HELP: I'm trying to get back into the swing of color for some of my upcoming projects. I still don't have anything like PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop, so I'm using a more traditional route: colored pencils. I'm trying to accomplish a bit of dimension with this and I also want it to look natural and organic. I ran it by a friend of mine and she made a good note to enhance the outlines up top of the sphere so it wouldn’t blend in with the page and it worked very well. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thanks!

ALSO: There was a little digital enhancing, but mainly to make what I've done more visible. The scanner tends to white-out some important things

Looks good.
Consider blending a tiny amount of the complementary color with the dominant color to make it less intense (in this case a little red) in areas that are in shadow, and then a very subtle amount of reflected light on the lower right side could help too.
