Having been inspired by the Wimbledon tennis tournament recently, I wanted to create something like this Tennis Ball icon.
I've removed a lot of the edge detail on the Dribbble version, mostly because it made the icon look scrappy. But I'd REALLY advise looking at the pixel version to see all of the texture and details. It took a fair whack of time to get it looking right.
All done by hand in Photoshop. As always, I appreciate your feedback.
That is great! I would problably try to chance what angle you see the white stripes, right now it looks a little awkward. Other than that, love the texture, it's right perfect!
Splendid, nice details and I love how the white stripes wrap around the corners. I think that the Wilson logo could get a better wrap around the top looking at the pixel-version.
Mate, seriously...gradients, noise layers and using Photoshop filters will do the job. Then a lot of patience will help in drawing individual strands. You'd be amazed at what can be created in Ps.

Hey Mike! The full pixels are amazing!! Did you used any specific brush or pattern available around or you made all by yourself?
AMAZING!

Hey Cesar! The only brush I used was a grass brush on VERY small for the edges, and a 1px round brush @ 50% for the individual hairs.
