You must login or register to view this content.


*EXTRA to make the actual lighting just take a large soft brush and click afew times where it should go and set that layer to overlay 100%
then make new layer and get a bit smaller soft brush with an off-white (white with small hint of yellow) and click once in between the overlayed brushes and set it to screen 80%

*i didnt think i needed a large tut to tell you about that
but if you want just tell me*

Well, I think it's way too simple... And in that second image (the one with the white soft brushing to simulate bad lighting), the light source is actually behind her, not on the opposite side. Note that the edges of her figure on both sides seem to have some lighting.

Not bad, though, for beginners to get used to the concept.

with PS it will automatically put in lighting for you, so really no need to brush it on, and it even puts shadows on not lit parts... but i never use lighting in my actual sigs lol maybe i should

i dont let the programs make the sigs for me. :p
you get better by doing things yourself.
is good to follow the tutorials but aslong as you dont have to pull up a tut every time you make a sig. Take skills with you and eventually you get your own style Smile
