lol if you can do source lighting then you have a great understanding of painting, to even attempt it is a good sign of your skill mate.

I've 'attempted' source lighting, does that make me a skilled painter?   :icon_suspicious:


Note that the said attempt has not been posted on the internet...  :icon_wink:

Yeah, I said I've attempted it, not I can do it :P

Depends what sort of source lighting, if it's a lava glow it's pretty simple (in principle)..

doing it well however is a little harder..

Solid examples there. Are there good tutorials out there on the web for it? I want to expand the number of tutorials here on the forum.

if you attempt source lighting then I think you must be a skilled painter, or a very very bad one and dont care what it comes out like  :icon_w00t:  I am still struggling with working out where to put highlights but I dont paint enough at the moment to improve.

I painted 3 Harlies to go in the comp, they are all stripped and back to base metal now.  Attroshus is the word I use and its bad spelling equals the job I did !!!!  I may try another soon but then again I may just flatten them into lead bases with a sledgehammer......
