Good morning, Leela. Congratulations on another successful orbit around the sun. Here's a birthday shout out to you from down the coast. Thank you for this tutorial. I'm working on a larger piece that is almost 70% in deep shadow. With a little help from you and Mr. Rembrandt, I might turn it into something good.
Cheers and best regards,
Ed

This is really helpful! Thanks ^^

Great! Thanks a lot

great explication. thanks for sharing
 

But haven't you heard? Shadows are always cool, light sources are always warm (except when they're not)! You kids and your realistic reflected light and your amazing Wyeths and your funny hats.

Seriously though, this addresses one of the most prevalent myths about colour. And it's a well-explained tutorial, and I'm glad it also gives an example of another mistake you can make. Super good tutorial.

You do such beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us, as well!

I saw this on tumblr and liked it, but I had to come here and fave it, too. Really good info that I hadn't thought about. Thank you for making this. <3

I like the top one better. Just from looks. I understand it's not as realistic.
