How to create highlights like this in CS6?

[TomdickLolas]

Hey so I'm trying to follow this video to create some nice highlights, I'm new at using illustrator and I can't really see the tools that he's using so I'm really confused by this method. You can skip to 5:50 to to where he makes a copy of the dragons eye and starts to give it some highlights. I know how to copy and paste in illustrator but I get lost after that. Like where is the minus front option he talks about which then gives him the new shape to color? etc.

Whatever you have tried to attach here has not come through so there is nothing for us to look at to help you. But as far as applying the minus front option that would be available using the Pathfinder Panel which you can find under the Window menu. You would select two objects where one is over the other and then click on the Minus Front Icon. See screen shot:

Regardless of the tool tip shown in the screen shot you don't have to hold the option to make this work. Just click on it.
