Description This goes with my earlier posted lighting reference:



I was asked to do an example of a face lighted from the underside this time around :3 so here you go! It's a lot less complicated than it seems, sometimes it's just hard to know where to start, right? :3 Hope it helps someone.

Why is your handwriting so hard to read (but it's still readable, I think?) ~ *wails*

XD sorry, my cursive is sloppy today~ It's like 1:30 AM. LOL so I was trying to hurry. It says:

Light Reference #2

When lighting from underneath, reverse the shadows you would normally use. Light will fall on any surface pointed down.

Shadows on anything pointed up.

(an easy way to do this: flip your picture upside down & light as normal XD )
