yes it is, per definition. Generally speaking, everything about a drawing except the linework is rendering. Look at Scott Robertsons "How to Render" book. Guess what it's about? Shading, lighting, and coloring. NOT linedrawing.

by the way, what do they think of "How to Render"?

How to render, didn't finde it on folders.

Does anyone have this?

This is the book for you OP. Check out his youtube channel. He did a quick overview of this book. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrJhSmz4zo9t-Z2GdHECW7A
Its very in-depth and I couldn't recommend it enough for learning how light and reflectivity works.

Yeah the last one was pretty hard.

Well, I do my drawing of what ever I'm gonna render. Bring it into photoshop. Then I go over my linework using paths and start making layers out of the paths I made. It's more efficient than going in and painting and erasing.

I used the same method for all these renderings. As for brushes, I just use default soft round brush. I don't think I gave a very good explanation for the method but I'll try to write a detailed process if enough people ask me.

You can learn all this stuff and from the book on the image I uploaded. It's where I'm learning all this stuff.
