I don't want to be discouraged from sharing my hard work because of a few individuals with thieving tendencies, don't ruin this for me. Thanks.

EDIT - for something I made quickly to help me sister, which she ignored BTW, this has exploded, I'm so happy and grateful, in the first day I got over 1000 faves, I'd love to thank every one individually but it's way too much for me so sorry, but again thanks you've all put a BIG smile on my face

Don't share without my permission this is for dA only.

If you've found it helpful tell me and please show me, I'd love to see, and if you've any questions just ask and I'll do my best to help as soon as possible.

Thank you so much! I never really focused on light sources because it confused me, so I'll definitely use this next time I colour.
