Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Not a simple question to answer since there are many different formulas/systems/setups, etc. Also depends on the type of look you are going for.

Generally speaking, i encourage you to google "3 point light system". It's a system that is the basis for many lighting setups.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!
