Highlights
For the second stage of highlighting I like to imagine a light source and focus most of the highlights to brighten up the model this way. This helps to increase the effectiveness of the pose. Use small highlights to pick out any small details too. For areas which would be shadowed I use the highlights more sparingly, although, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate to physics. If it looks good, it looks good!
