There’s a lot of color mixing in this lesson, and most of it has to do with creating shadows and highlights.
SpongeBob’s whole face and body are basically just yellow, so I’ve gotta make sure the colors look alive and dimensional. I’ll take advantage of the easy-to-use ArtRage color picker to find variations in the color that represent the sunlight coming in from the upper left…
… and the shadows created on the forms on the lower right.

thanks Sherm, I've really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this whole series (with lots of copying and note taking). I had to ink in artrage though (illustrator looks a lot more convienient for changing and smoothing lines after the fact).
