🎞️How Lighting Works on a Face//TUTORIAL
Added 2022-02-25 16:04:28 +0000 UTCHow I approach Lighting Faces! Here I go over what I keep in mind when lighting faces, planes of the face, the difference between cast shadows and form shadows, and common features and highlights to keep in mind!
If you haven't already seen it, I recommend also watching the how I shade tutorial for the basics of how I tend to shade:

2022-04-10 05:06:13 +0000 UTCOh for sure! When it comes to finding form, if you can figure out the basic planes and then how light hits those planes on whatever you are drawing, then you are golden! And when it comes to how I digitally shade, I usually use the same hard light layer mode for whatever I’m shading as well.

2022-02-28 06:46:31 +0000 UTCTrying this out right now and it's working great! Would you say this method also applies to other parts of a drawing? (hair, clothes, etc.)

2022-02-26 13:29:43 +0000 UTCI’m so glad it was helpful! Yeah that is a very good idea to do some more tutorials on specific lighting situations like that! I’ll definitely add it to the list of future tutorials!
