Hour 038

This card is from SVS Light and Shadow.

This lesson is about basic lighting of objects. One of the big points is that the local tone is part of lighting. You won’t see the local tone unless there is existing light. So, the rest of lighting is actually very minimal. Most of the work is just making the objects look round or squared off, or shiny or matte with just touches of light. And we want to avoid pitfalls of putting too much light into the scene.

Next time I will work with other objects and also maybe with some color to see how that works.

I spent about an hour following along to complete all the lessons from the class. This is one part of the completed file.
