How do they do it

>The programs changes everything you choose for something else. Sure it’s faster but for someone learning how to draw, the point is learning what colors work and doesn’t work by yourself right?
I'm not a master at coloring, but from my experience, the problem with most cel-shading tutorials is that they teach you the method (the how's) but never the why's. It's good to find a resource that will teach you the principles of values and color and light from a scientific approach, asking yourself how light bounces of objects, how subsurface scattering works, what the differences are between soft, hard, and lost edges are, etc. I would learn and study from someone like Marc Brunet or Sam Nielson.

It's hard to give advice when you've only posted a sphere. But it looks alright. Would have been better if it had a casted shadow on the ground, and area of Ambient Occlusion to better emphasis the reflected light, as well as a highlight. What you have here just feels a bit muted and half baked without these things, at least in my opinion.
