Lights

[indigo nest]

I can help ya there if you don't mind waiting a bit

[dawn sand]

Please 🥲

I have tried like 5 times

[nimble totem]

I'm not sure myself, but here's references

[true wagon]

i feel like the problem comes from the um light ray's direction 🤔 but i'm not sure

[nimble totem]

It looks like it's coming from a Crack of light

[dawn sand]

Ya 💀

[nimble totem]

Honestly would rewatch the little mermaid--

[indigo nest]

maybe like this

[true wagon]

oh then the point of perspective of the light source is probably a bit too close to the screen, maybe try making the rays more spread out idk

[dawn sand]

I LOVE YOU SO MCUH OMG

[indigo nest]

i would also suggest this direction for the lights

[dawn sand]

I would but I would have to change a lot of the lighting and stuff I have already spent so long on this 💀

[true wagon]

i wish i can do fully rendered drawings with backgrounds >_< i'm not able to keep up with the rendering

[dawn sand]

Don't do it unless you want to go through endless suffering

Just don't

[true wagon]

xD i mean my background are all full white or gray haha, and i really wanna do dynamic lighting
but omg the struggle ikr

[indigo nest]

do you by any chance have those lines on seperate layer?

if you do, it wont be that much work and i think it would improve the mood i think

[dawn sand]

I have the shape of the lighting on one layer but I have the lighting to other stuff of different layers

[indigo nest]

its great anyway, dont take me wrong!

[dawn sand]

I am taking about like the lighting on the other stuff like the rocks and stuff

I would have to change thst

[indigo nest]

ooh that

tbh i believe people wouldn't notice if they are not shaded in right angle, it would kinda just change for the bottom two rocks on the left

[dawn sand]

Ya 💀 that took a long time 💀

Ok I will try it

[indigo nest]

If you just align the light rays on the water efect you have there, it should work without having to change the shading on bg

[indigo nest]

Soooo much better imo!

And it works just fine with all shading

(i woukd blur those hard lines a bit, but that's more style related)

[dawn sand]

HMMM idk I ask some people which one should I do and they said the one I already have should I make it brighter?

[dawn sand]

Hold up fixed it up a bit

[indigo nest]

I vote for this versiom 200%

[dawn sand]

OKK I added a bit more and shaped it a bit so I wouldn’t need to fix to much can you tell what rendering on the rocks and stuff I would need to fix

[indigo nest]

I hmm, I think the fastest fix iz multiply layer in dark blue, and then erase where the light would hit objects

That's without changing what you have already done

[indigo nest]

Can't wait to see it after you shade the character!

[dawn sand]

THANK YOUU also sorry one more question would the lighting on the face still be the same like the example you gave me

[indigo nest]

Hmm maybe add a bit more rays that point to her face in the same angle to match that shading, or actually just with a soft brush, a bit of lighter color

This area

So this shading would work

[dawn sand]

OKK THANK YOUU

I didn’t really wanted to add more rays bc I would have to add more of the water reflections on her arm and boob 💀

[indigo nest]

More refs to help you with shading

[indigo nest]

Just a soft brush will do then, just to give the impression that there is lights there too
