i liked the photoshop one better because it looks better and also i like it better than my basketball one i used different tools like inner glow and different types of masks on it and on illustrator i learned how to cut the basketball in half and then making it into a sphere which was harder because the tutorial that i had to use was for the older edition of illustrator.
