I'm taking a Materials 101 class which started last week (thanks Uncle Sony for the tuition), first assignment is to paint three spheres of three different materials so here we go!

The pearl was the trickiest because most of the references I found were on a white background reflecting white surfaces while this one is on a dark surface. It started looking more like a fish egg so I tried to make it appear more reflective and less transparent.


Some early steps in my process to make the bricks

Wait for it: Fish egg transforms to pearl
