Painting Multiple Lights – From Simple to Complex Compositions

Painting with one light source is tricky enough but what happens when there are several light sources in a scene? What on earth do we do about that?  Well, in this class we are going to tackle the often tricky subject of juggling multiple light sources.  In this lesson, we’ll do a brief overview of Light and Shadow, before diving head first into 2 demonstrations.  The first being a simple ball exercise, the second of a portrait sketch of a superhero figurine.
