How Learning From Rella Fixed My Boring Lighting

Rella is an anime-style illustrator well-known for her VOCALOID illustrations and iconic lighting techniques. I tried studying 6 of Rella’s lighting scenarios to better understand her techniques and to use it to fix my lighting problems. Showing you my process in breaking down scenarios like Ocean Day, Night, Spotlight, Stage Light, Sunset, and Dappled Light!

James Gurney - Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter 📖 2. Richard Yot - Light for Visual Artists: Understanding and Using Light in Art & Design (^ My Thoughts: I personally find ’Light for Visual Artists’ to be more on point for studying lighting, as a digital artist. ’Color and Light’ was a fantastic book, but its focus on traditional painting techniques and usage of paintings as examples, can sometimes make it challenging for me to grasp its application on digital illustration.)
