Here is the second part of the assignment, with direct light and bounce light.

My direct and bounce light on the little monsters assignment. Now on to the torchlight….

This was fun.

Hello, I also found the stepping stone house quite inspiring but imagined the scene to be underwater. I have included two points of illumination - the light at the back of the house and a hermit crab postie. I think I have tidied up edges a bit too severely as some edges lose the soft transition from image to background. But I found this to be a fun exercise overall and am looking forward to future ones!

Monsters and Well! I think that in terms of bounce light I always tend to dim it down a notch. This comes from trying to keep the value structure clear with separated light and dark families, so that bounce light isn't brighter than any halftone. Perhaps I'll push it a bit further in the next studies and artworks and really make it pop.

I imagined a tired bear wizard returning to his home with his trusty hooded staff of light. :)

I preferred not to choose the same draw that Jeremy did, to avoid 'copying', so I opted for the mushroom house. I did two versions: the first with a direct light from below coming from a shiny puddle, the second with a lateral direct light using the round fruit attached to the tail of the roof as light source. Any feedback is very appreciated.

Hello, here is my result.
