Lighting PT 2

Before I started this project, I was studying lighting, just for the fun of it. I'm now glad I did. I had wanted to understand the way light worked so that when I painted my pictures, they would make more sense. I studied from a few things, but the best of the best on natural lighting, for me, were:

The Gnomon Series - Practical Light and Colour
Itchy Animation - Light

This is how I studied, and how I learnt what I know. Through being interested in the topic, and researching tutorials and lectures about it on the internet. Once I started to understand natural lighting and shadows, it became much easier to understand why artists made certain decisions when it came to it.
