Lighting Tutorial?

[Blithercube]

My bad if this is in the wrong section but is there any decent/good tutorials for lighting. I searched and couldn't find any.

What kind of lighting?

[Blithercube]

Umm there was a picture I saw the other day of like a close up of G-man's face with the shading around his face, I can't seem to find it. But pretty much any lighting editing done in Photoshop.

Is the shading by supercatsman?
If yes, you mainly use lighting from gmod and just shade it with the burn tool (more explanation in Vman and Chesty's tutorials), but don't over do the burning or it'll look ugly.

Takes practice to get it to look as good as the pros.
Hope this helps.

If not, then it doesn't matter. Same principal.

The lightning can be done with in-game dynamic lamps, even. A little Photoshop, (blur tool) to take out the granyness of the source dynamic light. An important fact to remember, is once dynamic lamps illuminate their subject from a distance, the quality of the light/shadow casting decreases, and increases once the distance decreases. In my picture, the lamp was around a centimeter away from the lower border of the image.

Heh, I never realized it was that easy to make ugly grainy images look better

I actually make a new layer and use the paint brush. When you burn and dodge with the tools, it usually comes out patchy.
