So you have NO dithering here at all. I will assume you mean AA. On this, if you first fix the moon's outline to its smoothest and then AA the left over jaggies, you'll be almost home.

The color of the moon is ok but is slightly on the 'cheese' side of yellow. Maybe a more 'glowly' shade?

I dont think he means aa, if you look well you can see things you can call dithering
@Lemons:
But it could be some more! use it as it was another color!

well i did some more work on it, found a better color which i hope works much more than the "light-cheese" look of the moon itself,i also  changed his entire expression...still need way more texture on it but im not sure how to add the crator's (excuse the spelling) on the moon's surface properly...

The moon is often represented stylistically as yellow, and this is clearly not meant to be realistic. I preferred it yellowy, personally, I just don't think you ever hit on the right shade of yellow.

The light source is missing from this newest one and I don't think it should be coming from the bottom left corner. Unless the earth is shining up on the moon.

Hello l3m0n5. In my opinon i think you should go back to basic and rework the shape of the moon. At the moment its rather mishaped and all though your going for a cartoon smile with the face its still not well shaped. Also the moon is round and you would still be able to see part of the moon where the black is. Take out the stars and just work on the lines first because i know how frustating it is to just keep recolouring with and end result of looking no better. Good luck and i hope to see some progress in your piece.

Hello L3m0n5.

To be honest I liked your original work
best. It has just the amount of cartoon
that you need. The stylic choices and
colors you tried later are not working
as nice as the first one did.

You initially stated you wanted to
learn more on dithering. Maybe you
should put aside this moon and
try a rough object first. Stone or
wooden object comes to mind.

Best regards from

M.E.

yeah, i think im busting my brain way to much on this, so if no one minds, im just gonna take a break from this "moonie man" and work on another piece, although its not a rough object either.
