is right plain and simple. when you render something you are defining the object as clear as can be. the more well defined it is, the more rendered it is. rendering, lighting and color are all completely separate concepts that simply working on one wont make you better at all of them. with rendering you understand better edge control, being able to soften areas and just manageable with layers when need be. with lighting you focus on values and their subtly when painting in grayscale. the direction of light, occlusion, ambient and how it bounces dont really play much in there because theyre sort of self evident. thats why you confuse lighting with rendering.
