I don't want to be discoured from sharing my hard work because of a few individuals with thieving tendencies, don't ruin this for me. Thanks.
EDIT - for something I made quickly to help me sister, which she ignored BTW, this has exploded, I'm so happy and grateful, in the first day I got over 1000 faves, I'd love to thank every one individually but it's way too much for me so sorry, but again thanks you've all put a BIG smile on my face
So I felt like making another tutorial (well this is more of a guide) and this was something people ask about, so here it is.
(Because of the colours I realise this may be difficult to understand for colour blind people, sorry, saving it to your computer and making it grey scale should work.)
Don't share without my permission this is for dA only.
If you've found it helpful tell me and please show me, I'd love to see, and if you've any questions just ask and I'll do my best to help as soon as possible.
Great tutorial. But how do I go about understanding lightning when it comes to full body? Like wearing clothes and stuff. Especially, when I am drawing imaginary creatures.
Take photographs, find references, look in the mirror, look at nature, watch how light works and remember. If you start to build a collection of mental references you'll learn how to correctly light anything and everything. The process is a long one though, don't expect to do it in a weekend.
