Tired as hell, but glad I had my class today. Now it's time for:
Things to remember:
1) There should be no white in backgrounds or shadows. This rule can be bent if atmosphere is involved or if there is a small amount in reflected light. This is probably why I was having so much trouble at work today painting a mummy! Got to get better at painting white things.
2) Shadows and highlights have value ranges that are independent from one another. There should not be a value in the shadow that matches one in the highlight.
3) A local color has a shadow that is comprised of a a single value. All changes in value are due to reflected light.
4) Highlights have values that change depending on how light hits a surface. The more light, the lighter the value. Value will decrease until in shadow. No value should be darker than any value in the shadow.
5) Edges in shadow should not be sharp
