Hello my lovely bluebells!
This month's tutorial video is here and you voted for learning how to add highlights and shadows to your art. I do quite simple lighting in most of my illustrations but I still think it helps bring a lots more life to them and it's really easy to apply, so in this video I'll show you how I do my lighting and also take a look at lots of examples.
Although I recorded the drawing parts in Photoshop, you can do the same things in Procreate or any other software you're using to draw as the principles still apply.
I've also included an exercise that will show you how long to make cast shadows and what direction they should go in.
I hope you enjoy this video! You can find the other videos in these playlists:
Enjoy! ♥
