A wha-torial??  [stuned]  

The trick with Pseudo-3D stuff is to start simple and work from there. Do some spheres first... then some cylindars... then some pill shapes... each time you take with it some techniques based on the simpler methods you used before. Don't be afraid to use references either. Get a ball and shine a lamp on it... how does the light hit it? Try with something else... compare the surfaces. Just lots and lots of learning how things look. I could write a tutorial on certain aspects... but if I showed how to do an exact image, you'd end up with... that exact image. There are plenty of great tutorials on shiny spheres and such on this site that Mark was kind enough to make. There are some great techniques in those tutorials. Go through those and start trying to see WHY things are done a certain way. That's 20% of the process. The other 80% is practicing all the time. heh.
