Idk who needs to hear this but i know you're out there:
Rendering is: 👌 Adding light details (such as stark highlights, colour refraction, shadows) 👌 Post filtering (such as noise, textures, ambient lighting) 👌 Effects (anything that could be considered part of the post production process in a film or animation, such as warping, fisheye, chromatic abberation etc.)
Rendering is not: 💀 The entire shading process (shading that adds form and depth/ basic shading) 💀 The entire painting process (filling in your lineart with colour, or your sketch if you don't use lineart) 💀 The entire process of realizing a sketch (i feel like i shouldnt have to explain this and yet i still see this one being thrown around for some reason)
Reminder that just because you hear a term used online, does not necessarily mean it is being used correctly. Rendering is a very specific part of the process that refers to post-painting period where you add any details that could be caused by light sources in the scene, natural or unnatural effects that might apply to the "camera" (or field of view in a piece of art), or any number of more nuanced details i am missing. The easiest way to think about it, is that rendering is like post processing / editing for a film or video. Your art should be nearly completed by the time you are actually rendering, and it should always be your final step.
