Then we delve into basic reflectivity, and how reflective objects are essentially a mirror of the world around them. How those reflections undulate across the surface describes the various shapes and forms. Finally, I introduce color in the form of pearlescent red, and I overlay the concepts of light source and reflectivity to add realism and brilliance.
