Great tip about using line of sight to calculate illuminated surfaces! It's like the equivalent of negative space in a design but for light and shadow.

Very cool, pragmatic tutorial!

When he said overlay and color dodge, I was like “yes sir!” Love those two but my 4 go to layer effects I’ve been using lately are (top to bottom) saturation 25%, darken 100%, overlay 20%, and color burn 40%.

I'm waiting for your opinion on the Generative Fill feature of Photoshop if you can use it for your day-to-day work.
