Lighting of Luyia

So the next step for my character was to create a light sorce, put her in an enviroment and light her accordingly. I had alot going for me since lighting and shading is something that comes natural for me because I do portraits. I thought alot about depth in the drawing, making the dark darker and the light lighter.

Although I had alot going for me doing this assignment I’m still too inexperienced in digital drawing. I struggled in the beginning because I had the knowledge of lighting and shading but I definitely didn’t know how to use the tools well. If I could find a tool that does what a tortillion does on paper in Photoshop, that’d be great.

I have to say I’m very pleased with the outcome and I’m so happy that I now know digital drawing is actually something I can do and that it is so much fun.
