• Do 3 studies that are at least halfbodies of a character under 3 different lighting conditions. At least one sketch should be in color.
• Simple cell-shading is fine, but try to use different colors of light in each sketch, or use 2 different light sources - this exercise is about considering not only the placement of light on 3D forms, but how the colors of light and shadow interact with each other.

• Award: 2 Random Stamps and 1 Notoriety Point
