CGCookie - Fundamentals of Digital Lighting in Blender

https://cgcookie.com/courses/fundamentals-of-digital-lighting-in-blender

• If you’ve already seen blender modeling tutorials and modeled an object, the next step is to show it off! Just like a photographer choosing which qualities of a subject to emphasize, be it in characters in Blender or hard surface models, your task with lighting is to bring out the best in whatever it is that you’ve created. In this course about the fundamentals of digital lighting, we’re going to look at how light works, how it’s simulated in Blender, and how you can use it to make your 3D models, blender animations, and any project look amazing.
• We’ll start off in Cycles and talk about all the main properties of light objects and environment lights and how to tweak them to get the results you want. Along the way, you’ll learn important concepts about path tracing and how light works in general, which will help you create any lighting effect on your own. 
• From there we’ll switch over to Eevee and demystify what’s going on with shadows, environments, and bounce lighting during rasterization, so you can get as close to Cycles quality as possible without the extra headache.

CGCookie - Fundamentals of Blender Materials and Shading

https://cgcookie.com/courses/fundamentals-of-blender-materials-and-shading

• After you’ve created your 3D Blender models and added some lighting, the next step is to apply materials and create shaders or Blender Materials.  Shading is one of the key pillars of computer graphics. 
• Knowing how to do it well will improve every render you make, whether it’s realistic or stylized, whether you're making characters in blender or kit bashing models, working on hard surface modeling, most of the things you do in 3D will benefit from building great materials.
