i do not see the sphere-ness
I've been making graphic art and working with graphic design software for quite a while now (4-5 years on and off)It's not bad for starting out.. you've got some good basic principals and techniques already learnt. However I urge you to try and veer away from any kind of minimalism such as you have already..Big white spaces are not attractive.What programs are you using for this? I highly recommend getting Adobe Photoshop (CS1 or higher) and Adobe Illustrator (CS1 or higher). How you get these is entirely up to you.Also I recommend looking for tutorials on the web on how to do things. This is a fairly good tutorial site.Also you should learn more about file extensions.. any images with not many colours (i.e less than 32) such as the second image you made can be saved as .gif and will save alot of filesize.
the light corner on the top right and the shadow on the bottom left (in your case) makes the circle look like a sphere. the white stuff makes texture, not make it look sphereical. id say emphasize the light and dark spots, and ad a little shine at the top right. not to shabby for 1st try tho!
