ABSTRACT

Select a location with a mood similar to the one you drew in Exercise 54, but this time put a darkly silhouetted figure into a darker area of the background. However, highlight just some parts of the figure using rim lighting (i.e., light that reflects from the outer edges of a figure’s outline to emphasize its contours against a darker background). Remember, though, that everything in the scene will also be influenced by the same light source that causes the rim lighting, although perhaps not so markedly. (Take no more than 5 minutes to complete this drawing.)
