oh, thank you! uber useful. but how does hair effect it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
depends on the hairstyle ^^ a lot of hair would block most of the light on the face, and instead the light would be applied to the edges of the hair itself ^^ with short hair though, or really thin groupings of hair, some light would still hit the face ^^

Oh my, haha thank you so much for making this example - it makes so sense to me now! This work of 2 minutes certainly did help. Again, thank you so much and I do apologize about the load of questions I threw at you Cx;

How long have you been studying art ;u;?

XD well, formally, never. XD I haven't taken any drawing classes, and I didn't go to college :3 but, growing up my father was a famous oil painter on the west coast, and my step mom is a photographer XD they own an art gallery together - so i've been hanging around artsy types (and was encouraged to do art myself) since a very young age. Unfortunately, I spent most of my life totally slacking at art. It's only the past year or so that i've really taken it seriously. Writing is my true passion :3 but art pays bills.

Eeee, that's so cool though; that your family's environment is mostly art! That's so sweet; that they own an art gallery. I bet you could just spend forever observing their gallery.
I've always wanted to try oil painting- have you done it yourself then?
Haha well; better late than never to start getting serious on your art, right? I think I'm sort of the opposite from you; there was a phase I went through several years ago where I just constantly wrote random stories out of nowhere but over those years I focused on art more and just 'tossed' writing aside, lol. I love art and writing both, but I think art has more of my love, haha Cx
I'm assuming English was your favourite subject then? xD

hardly XD science was my massive favorite - i took about every science class i could get my hands on XD but i was good at english class :3 I did try oils when I was younger, but I never was cut out to be much of a traditional artist - i prefer to have an undo button at my disposal XD

Ahahaa, I've met a few digital artists who prefer digital too; traditional, if you make a mistake, it's difficult to hide/fix it. Cx I'm more of a traditional artist myself but I'm trying to learn digital too. C;
You took every science class possible? Haha I love science myself but only the chemistry and biology stuff. Cx

its really helpful! i'm personally a visual person - and these redlines - even if they are for painters.. they're pretty helpful for art in general - and i'm a vexel artist.. kinda. but they're pretty inspiring and make me want to paint.. in fact - your other tutorial on the light contrast (it was your.. one that you did for commission.. it had like a blue light and red light system.) that was pretty great too!
but i suck at painting LOL so i'll be vexing
