Hey everyone!! I've been incorporating lighting in more of my pieces, but most of the time I end up being all over the place about it. I want to make the lightning so that it looks good on the face and actually casts a good light or shadow that makes sense instead of just adding an add layer and making some glow effect on a certain side of the piece. I know about using references, but I'd like some other tips that can help me improve!!

Also some tips on side profiles and just facial structure would be appreciated as well~

Not sure for side profiles but for lights you want to take a specific spot and imagine there is a window or somethin and draw light streaks like the picture

Something I do (and obviously you don't have to do this) is add white strands to the hair as a highlight^^
