A lightsource is the direction that the light is hitting your subject.

Yes.
![]() My suggestion is use a first hand study of light. Go turn on a lamp and put something under it, study that, draw that. Get the basic lineart done and post it in the WIP forum, he'll help you from there. ![]() |

and a short attention span to your art in general. This is not helping you. You need to focus on a single piece first. Then get some critiques. THEN ask about shading on that particular piece.

I dunno pb, i think it's a good idea to learn the general fundamentals of something you don't understand rather than first learning the specifics on each individual piece.
Randy, look over your posts before you click the post button, or you'll end up having embarrassing typos like the one you just made of 'spam' rather than 'span'. Okay? So you understand what a lightsource is now? |

I personally feel the tutorial that jal posted is a bit confusing, especially for someone who doesn't understand what a lightsource is. Majority of it is fine, but there are a few examples that don't seem to fit, ex. the side light, and pillow shading.
For the Side light, why are only the goggles lite when surely the right side of the mask would show this as well. Lastly for the pillow shade and mirror (which I'm not very familiar with) only have the front piece of the mask lit up, and only gray.. Those are my only complaint of the tut. but this is coming from a good size newb myself. |

Lightsource.... is the source in which the light is coming from. By that it could be the sun, a lamp, a window, WHATEVER makes light. Light hits objects/people as well as creates shadows (thus we have "shading")
Whatever is closest/sticks out the most gets the most light and the further is darkest. Not hard. What is hard is when you have to learn how light reacts to each thing.
THIS takes time and practice. I still need to learn allot and have been drawing my whole life (age 21) and been pixeling for about 5yrs (which is nothing).
