Process
- Proportions
- Gesture
- Block-in envelope
- Palette
- Start small
- Base tone
- Big gradation
- Go bigger image
- Start in the back.
- Block in shadows. Non local. Soft then erase for hard.
- Multiply for shadows. Color dodge for highlight.
- Lose Edges.
- Don't render everything. Render focal.
As an artist, ask:
- What is the surface material?
- What is the age?
- Why is it made a certain way?
- What is the environment? Altitude?
- What is the time? Weather?
- Is it dusty? Humid? Wet?
- What is the mood?

Don't have opacity and size pen pressure on at the same time. Hard to control.
Use soft round to pull colors and blend at low flow.
Marquees with the stroke feature under [Edit] can be used to make shapes.
Smudge can be used on its own layer if you check sample all layers.
Ctrl H hides selection.
Warp by entering transform and right clicking.
After warping, lower the opacity and erase the decal in the shadow.
Glossiness is important in figuring out a material.
