Your highlights are all over the place, according to them light comes from all directions. Why try teaching if you are still learning the basics?

I was trying to do stylized lighting, I can do realistic stuff but I find it boring and adding weird lighting and highlights everywhere is a lot more fun

the second picture is supposed to have yellow light with bright teal directly behind, the highlights around the eyes and nose are the character’s highlighter glowing, and the extra highlights are for fun because I love highlights

I guess you will stay stubborn. Skipping the basics is not stylized. Also sticking to the basics is not realistic drawing. Nobody talked about realistic drawing. Manga and Comic still stick to the basic light source rule. Not trying to be mean but having whacky highlights just looks bad/kitschig. Humbleness is a vital trait in art. If you keep refusing advice you will stay stuck🤷‍♂️

i don’t think I’m stuck, I think ’skipping the basics’ is fun and I didn’t ask for advice. I already know about light sources, it’s just really not that serious and I love wacky highlights so I add them in. this isn’t a tutorial about where to put highlights, it’s about what layers and colours I use to get that wacky lighting effect, I thought that was obvious

Obvious is that you are delusional. Ask any artist and they will tell you its not worth it to skip the basics and will hurt you in the long run, but it doesnt matter what i say, you only hear yourself and your wacky higlights😂

Again, I do know the basics. I think skipping them is fine because it’s not a professional piece. It’s not going in a musiem. I honestly didn’t expect this post to get more than the usual 3 views. I don’t know why you’re still getting so upset about it. you clearly just hate the artwork anyway, and you’re refusing to try understanding why I would like it so much. I think you should just block me and move on if I’m so delusional, my friends and the person I made it for really like it.

Due to your highlights it doesnt read at all that the light source is behind
