Flash Lighting Study - June 2025 (Patreon)

Flash lighting direct study! Ref is attached below :) With flash lighting I find it helps to make use of the airbrush in your earlier render stages. Usually if the flash is coming from the viewer's perspective like it is in this drawing, the edges of your subject will appear darker while the center generally appears brighter. Almost no harsh cast shadows except for on surfaces in the bg. If you've had trouble with flash rendering before I hope this helps!
