Emlan just showed me this awesome lighting assistance tool! If you can get past the creepy stare, it’s really great reference for drawing faces in different lighting!
EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED IN LIFE
Way cool!
Light and Shadow tutorial by Ron Lemen
Please click through the link! There’s a wealth of information that he gives in his quick write-up for this. It’s a very basic overview of light/shadow but it provides a solid foundation for the topic.
I got a few more asks about tutorials recently, so I started making some tutorials about colours and the way I paint. It’s nothing difficult, but then I realised that not everyone has the same background, so I decided to first do two basic tutorials about viewing the head and the way a person makes strokes in order to make the painting tutorials easier on everyone.
Here are two fairly useful lessons that I got from my teacher before I started painting.
Also please take all of this with a grain of salt, if something doesn’t make sense with the way you work, always search up for more information or experiment!

This is probably really obvious when you’re drawing from your imagination but might be easy to forget when drawing from reference.
