In this ZBrush training lesson, your instructor demonstrates how to add more highlights to the pumpkin you began to Polypaint in the previous video. He also discusses the approach he takes to determine which colors to use for painting the pumpkin’s stem and eye sockets.
- [Instructor] I'm now ready with the second color finished,…And now ready to put on a lighter,…more pale yellow color.…So I'll move up in my color chart once again.…I tend to like a lot of my colors to be de-saturated.…That's just my personal preference.…I don't like really bright, candy colors,…but more earth tone.…So now that I have the yellow selected,…once again I'll test it a little bit…to see how well it works,…and I'm going to use this color now,…as I mentioned, for hitting my highlights.…
So you can kinda see how that…already started to bring out some highlight.…So I'm just going to gently,…just hit the surface with it.…Not too much because that can really…change the whole value overall of the piece.…So I am going to just stay focused…on some of the more prominent areas,…to help give the pumpkin a little bit of a pop…in some of the areas.…
Alright, so like areas around here.…And then on the top.…So you can see what I mean by a false highlight.…
Okay, well that about does it right now…for much of the basic part of the pumpkin.…
