"ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, it is Angela with ExpertVillage.com. And right now, I'm just putting in some shadows on my little tractor here, my back-hoe tractor. One thing you should know about doing shadows is shadows are never black. The shadow of everything is always just a darker version of that color and so you never want to try to make your shadows gray unless it's like a white or a gray shadow to begin with. With the yellow, I just mixed a tiny bit of brown and mixed it in with the yellow just to make it a darker yellow of that same color. And then of course, highlights, you can always use white if it's a shine--if you're doing a shine."
