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

One of the best I have ever read, not only for lighting but of tutorials in general.
To see how the basic ball-example can be extended to any other object or figure takes this tutorial to a whole new level.
This is very easy to follow too. Thank you very much for sharing
