This is the only light source if that helps, I just have no idea and references aren’t helping much 😞

Sorry late reply!! I used a multiply layer for the shadows, and then on the same layer went in for a darker shadow. I used color dodge to make the lights and then duplicated the layer and blurred it for the glow.

#

Then I just combined all the layers and went in manually to fix any colors or shading!
