I decided to consider this the final unshaded version.
Now, the question remained: would it be worthwhile to add in the
shading? I showed the unshaded version of the picture to a friend
who is a graphic designer. It didn't take him long to mention
shading as the next step. I showed him the first attempt
(displayed above) and admitted that I had no idea how to improve
it. He suggested using a printed copy of my unshaded picture and
drawing the shading on it first, before attempting to draw it on
the computer.
Well, that almost discouraged me right there. Drawing simple stuff
on paper was not a problem, but when it came to shading I didn't
have a clue how it could be done. He helped by pointing out that
I could start by drawing the outer edge of the faintest shading as
though it were a regular object. I could then define another line
that would represent the "middle ground" of the shading. He
suggested not to use more than 2 or 3 different levels of shading.
So off to the drawing board I went.
I did not keep all the stages of the shading, but suffice to say
that it took about twice as much time then all the rest of the
picture. This was the final result of the shaded version:
