I'm so glad to hear it! I think I'll need to update this (or make a new post) to share *why* it's worth learning multiple options. I used two different lighting methods in my latest artwork, just to have a comparison. This one really preserves the texture and detail, so it's great for traditional work or when using really textured brushes and color variations.
Incredibly helpful Jennifer, thank you so much! I got 6 images in the email before the link to see the full article. Using outlook on an iPhone, I guess it might vary
Thanks, Susan! I really appreciate the info. I sent myself a test post and everything showed up, but I suspected I couldn't trust that. Might be a little skewed since the email was essentially coming from myself!
Jennifer wow! Thank you for explaining how it works in several steps! I will surely try it out when I have time in the coming weeks :-) It looks gorgeous by the way and your recent illustrations made me realise how important it is to use light and shadows!
You know I love it! You can add so much drama, mood, and magic with light and shadow. But I think it depends on your eye. There is so much amazing flat art that celebrates form and color, and there have been many times when I questioned whether or not I should move in that direction! But I've come to the conclusion that light and shadow is part of how I work and I should go ahead and embrace it.
I'm going to try this, I think it will work well for me! my work does tend to fall in the midtone and is highly textured so this approach will be a great way to get tone. One challenge is I probably will have to much tighter roughs if I was doing this for a job, becuse there will be less room to move things around, let me give it a go on a few personal projects first, thanks for this great resource Jennifer!
Thanks Jennifer that’s really generous- I’m excited to give it a go xx
