Really interesting thoughts on light. All makes sense :) Although in the cases you've described, we're working with a close light source, like a torch or a candle or something. You don't have falloff to the same extent when dealing with a distant light source, i.e the sun, or the sky on an overcast day (ambient light is something to bear in mind as well).

Just a thought anyway, awesome stuff, thanks for putting it together. :). I tend to work from the darkest version of a local colour, then add the light. Basically I've been thinking about it in completely the opposite way to you lol. Seeing it from the other side is super helpful. The stuff on coloured lights/coloured surfaces especially.

Really interesting stuff, thank you.

PS, your work's looking awesome, love the brushwork :).


Edit, read this recently, that's what got me thinking about the different types of light source, pretty useful :)
