Started making a more detailed value sketch for CC3 today and get a bit stuck because I don't really understand well enough how lighting works. So here's my next still live, I set it up approximately as the gates in my CC3 with the half-cylinder for the character (perspective might be a bit screwed up because the focus was lighting).
I'm going to learn S.Robertson's "How to render" later because I guess my values too often, and I want a more kinda scientific approach. Muse is good but only for the one who's fundamentals are strong. Still lives and any other studies are much more effective when you know what you are supposed to see in the scene given the particular lighting (there must be a cast shadow here - oh, here it is! and so on). I can't rely only on 3d.
Didn't look at the photo of my setup while drawing, but I used it a bit while writing analytical notes on top.
