Use of Basic Lighting - Common Art (Week 04)

I attempted some pretty dramatic lighting for this assignment and it was a challenge to work with such high contrast while still maintaining the definition of the three key lights (point, rectangle, and sky lights). For the recreation, I first used the "find edges" and "threshold" tools in Photoshop to pull out linework which I then further cleaned up with a line tool. After that, I pulled values and hues from the 3D render and painted within my new lines to recreate the look and feel of the lighting. Lastly, I used a gaussian blur on my painted layers to help smooth them out.
