So here's how I'm going to show you, this is kind of what I talked about earlier. I know it's all written together, it talks about the light and everything. Just to give you an example of what I was talking about I'm going to kind of execute in the next couple of minutes, just to show you what I would do. So, we talked about the lightness of the part of the box, it's going to be really light in here, and so, it's going to be not as much. Start with this side. I'm going to do something called cross action, which is like the line method I said but actually going back and forth. Notice how I talked about how the darkest part is actually, going to be on the change of this line because this is where it starts. It's much easier to do this maybe if you have a pencil and know how to smudge it or something like that. We talked about how this part is going to be darkest because it's away from the light. It's important that since I'm kind of working in a motion, the same motion, I try to keep that going. So like I said, the part that's closest to the floor is actually going to be the darkest part.
