#I don’t understand face lighting

the face has a lot of planes. each plane is like a face on a cube. those that face the light will be the lightest in value, and the onles not hitting the light directly will be darker
the darkest areas will be areas where no light hits and shadows that are casted from other things (e.g. head blocking light from the neck)
id suggest you start off with a big hard brush and go from broad to detail. cant really tell from ur photo rn, but dont airbrush right away
