Hitting different surfaces (color, consistency, gloss), the distanceīetween them (the amount of diffuse color, contrast, edges, perspective), and most certainly we don't draw things that don't reflect or emitĪnything to our eyes. That's exactly what we're doing when painting-we imitate rays Lot of objects before hitting your eye last.
