well that yellow thing above her head is the direction the lightings comin in

#

does that count lol

royal lark
#

alright. top lighting

#

Is it a warm light source?

novel arch
#

yes, like from the sun

royal lark
#

so for inside warm lighting, you would shade the parts that are dark in a blueish color. It would look good in this peice due to the multiple greens and yellows, but from the sun, you would use a more yellow color showing it. Doesn't make it bad, but honestly if you choose the first one it wont make much difference
