Use of Basic Lighting

 

I'm really proud at how this turned out. I consider myself bad at digital painting, especially with color and lighting. I blocked out the shapes and gave each shape it's own layer for: colors and highlights. I masked out the shapes to give them a base color that I can manipulate. I mainly used the blend tool and airbrush to shade my objects. think I spent about 7 hours on this project and gave myself neck pain by staring too attentively at my screens.
