Description Long tutorial is long. Again @_@... I have got to stop making such long tutorials. Originally it was even longer before I increased the width of the whole thing. >_>

Anyway, my basic Lighting Tutorial! This is for all of you who have trouble with lighting and how to apply it correctly in your works. This is how I got to understand it so don't take me for a pro or anything, though, but hopefully, it'll be somewhat helpful.

All photos in it are © me so no ripping, please.

Special thanks go to Brad and Nysha for letting me use some of their works. <3

Thanks can you make a more easier/shorter tutorial? Cause I'm trying to memorise some of the techniques:] Gosh, I'm such a burden -,-"
