Description
NOTE: Don't take my advice as absolutely right here. I'm still learning too and I realize I may have made some mistakes here. This guy seems to know more of what he's talking about - [link]Please excuse my spelling mistakes. I typed this rather quickly.
I had planned to do college work this afternoon, but I did this instead. Doing it immensely helped me with my understanding of shadows. I was originally going to have it cover making mirror-like surfaces too, but that wasn't really about lighting, it was just about drawing distorted versions of the scene in the surfaces of the objects.
The trick is now to take your scenes and break them down into basic 3 dimensional objects and then apply these rules to them.
Hope you get something out of it too.

Thank you especially for the bit about ambient light. It's a trouble spot for me, but this explained it well = )

Glad it helped out. Looking back on it now it could have used more visual aids.

That's okay. I just found DA didn't seem to have a tutorial like this amongst all the coloring tutorials.
