Rendering Fundamentals: Light and Value

Create a full value scale from light to dark with smooth, even gradations.

Determine the direction of a light source and predict how it will illuminate a form.

Distinguish between form shadow and cast shadow.

Render basic 3D forms using smooth blending to create a light-to-dark gradient.

Identify and render the core shadow, halftone, and reflected light on a simple form.

Use value contrast to create the illusion of depth and separate objects in space.
