CORE Translucency practice

posted to: Translucency

Hi! so these are my attempts at the translucency exercise of creating a wax material and I was hoping for a little feedback as materials are a fairly new topic for me:
The first image (with layer weight) was my first instinctive attempt, whilst the second image is a follow up attempt. I guess I'm trying to figure out, amongst the MANY different ways looks can be achieved, is if there is ever a "right way" or a method of good practice? Any feedback (on methods, and these specific results) is much appreciated 😁

    In Discord it was the first picture, here is the second one. It has less orange and it feels more waxy. Looks good.

    Thanks Omar! this was asked to several friends also, and it was a 50/50 split, but I'm inclined to agree with you! I feel like the more "orange"-y one MAYBE could work, but only if the light source were closer (like the candle flame itself) perhaps 🤔
