Description Colors
  • Specular Highlights - Typically pure white
  • Light Color
  • Base Object Color
  • Shadow/ Ambient occlusion Color

Opaque Object
  • Light hits the Object and bounces off resulting in a 'Lit spot'

Translucent Object
  • Light partially passes through the object and bounces around inside creating an 'internal glow'.  Unlike the Opaque object this causes the light to come through the other side of the object.

Painting Stages
  • Base color
  • Light Color - 
    • Remember this is color is internal
    • Often best to make this a saturated color
  • Shadows and ambient occlusion
  • Specular Highlights
    • The sharper the edges of the specular the more 'shiny' the material appears
    • More specular dots creates a 'glistening' effect.

    And that's it! It's not a hyper realistic tutorial since I haven't studied in depth how light interacts with objects.  Just something simple from what I've observed!  :3
