I was working on a illustration I have to do when some doubt rose in my brain. It was regarding how light coming through several windows would impact on a room filled with divisions. Specially because I had already painted the effect on the mentioned drawing and looked somehow odd. And I was right, there was something wrong.

I had done the wall with windows darker, that was right. But I had made the light beam coming directly from the window. Wrong. It's separated. Seems logic and obvious now. To prove it I made a quick setup inside a cardboard box (how unusual of me), cut three rectangles as windows, put some paper napkin over them, a spotlight in the back, and some simple desks, chair, and the first hoodfellow prototype (yes, it has arms) all pasted with an important amount of tape.

What you can see here now is not exactly what I needed, as the illustration has some hard midnoon cold light, but I already saw it, so started playing with warm tones and diffuse light. I gave him some cloth to be checking or working on (early cuts for hoodfellows hoods) and put the spot low and near, to achieve that early dawn look. Poor fellow he spent the entire night working until sun rose.
