Global Lighting Tutorialby ~Angelus-Tenebrae

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Miscellaneous

I decided to make this tutorial, as it's probably an issue that's overlooked by a lot of people. If you've picked all the colors you wanted to, and bothered with things like skin tone, and the picture still doesn't quite look the way you want it to, it's probably because of bad lighting.

EDIT:...Oh wow. That's what happens when you get a DD. Thanks though.

And for those who are wondering, yes, that's Hohenheim. Not that it even matters. I'm surprised he's that recognizable, even though I drew him without the glasses. I excluded the glasses because I just needed a simple example.

Suggester's words: Oh my god. Light has always been a trouble for me, it seems so confusing and hard to put onto paper, however [Global Lighting Tutorial] by ~Angelus-Tenebrae puts it so simply and clear that even i can understand it! I have learned a lot from this short but helpful tutorial and highly recommend it to any artist, digital or not, who has trouble with painting light.

so, story goes: i come across this AAAAAAGES ago, back when i was fishing for tutorials, and i stumbled on yout tutorial, which was incredibly insightful, so i faved it into a collection so i could keep it for reference if i forget.
so aages later, i watch Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood, and think it's amazing, all the while i didn't remember that indeed, the model for the tutorial was Van Hohenheim. so a few months later, i look through my tutorials and see this again.
i think that i recognize the character in the thumbnail, so i view the page. i view the page and indeed it was hohenheim.
the realisation was awesome for me, that i want to be able to fave this again and again.
i know it seems small, but that was my highlight for the day

Lately, I've been trying to promote my art from "adequate understanding of light sources in the loosest sense of the word" to "resembles reality." My illustration major sister tried to explain the concepts in your tutorial to me once and my brain sort of exploded. This is helping me understand better XD Thanks for helping the rest of us understand!

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
