What is in the image: the image is a digital painting tutorial showing a stepbystep process of painting a scarlet macaw. the tutorial uses five stages:1. base colors: a flat base layer of the macaw's colors is painted without lighting.2. shadow: shadows are added on a "multiply" layer to create depth.3. light: brighter colors are added to highlight the areas where light hits the bird.4. bounced/ambient light: subtly illuminated shaded areas using colors representing light from the environment.5. keep exploring: the final stage encourages continued refinement of color and depth.each stage is illustrated with a separate image of the macaw, progressively showing the addition of light and shadow. the tutorial is labeled with clear instructions and is credited to @jonhuangart.
