Less chalky but still can’t get the shine right

try using white or very light yellow

#

rn it looks more like blocks of cheese

#

the reference above uses it in 2 spots to make it look like its shiny

But don’t use pure white, that doesn’t really show in nature

Fr. Anything you see as white has a tint to it. Never pure white

I tried it but I can’t get it right, I used a light yellow, it just didn’t look cohesive

#

I’ve not got many round shapes to exactly replicate this technique and when I used flat shapes it just wasn’t making it look shiny, it just looked like light yellow on top of yellow

#

But it wasn’t conveying light

I think you may need to desaturate stuff a little then. Also round or not it still uses these types of colors
