color recipe

"Non Metallic" Metallic or NMM for short is a method of painting metallic without using metallic paint. This technique is no different than regular highlighting/shading with blending, layering or feathering method. The most important thing to make NMM look 'believable' and 'real' is the consistency of "light source". I will share more info on this technique later, meanwhile, I wrote this color list that I regularly use for my NMM. I hope you can find it useful.
