Recently, I've been trying to get my really good friend Nelson Ricardo to mentor me with painting.  Mostly because I thought traditional painting was awesome but he pulled out the real reason why I wanted to do it.  I really want to get back into lighting.  I miss it and I truly enjoyed doing it, even though I had no clue what I was doing.


This was my first assignment.  I had a limited palette to use:

• 20% grey
• 40% grey
• 60% grey
• 80% grey
• Black 
• White

This is the reference he gave me.  You're welcome to try it for yourself!!

And this is my apple.  Mind you, I had a limited time frame, so I can focus on just the tones to understand the light.

Hopefully, I'll be drawing more but I won't make any promises
