Description
I've been wanting to do a tutorial/walkthrough for a while now, but I didn't know what to do it on. In this I explain how to use lighting in a background and how to add lighting to a horse through painting.This is mouse friendly,as I dont have a tablet.Made on PS CS3.Stupid DA wouldn't let me upload the original version,so I had to cut the bottom part off,which explains how to change hooves from black to white.
You can view the bottom part of this tutorial here: [link]
You can view the manip created in the tutorial here: [link]
If this helps you in any way,and hopefully it does,I'd like to see what you make
Credit is not necessary,but appreciated.EDIT;; I just realized I made a mistake in the background part.Where it says paint black over it,erase,then choose a setting(sometimes multiply works here)...just duplicating the background layer and setting it to multiply is what I meant.That makes the whole image darker,and then you can make a new layer on top of that and paint black to focus the lighting more.I'm sorry for the comfusion,and I hope this helps

i have a question about the lighting.. If you were to use a chestnut, black, or any other dark colored horse, would you use the white for the glow or a much lighter color of the horses' body? I'm new at the glow things

well, it really depends on how realistic you want it. if you're going for realism (and this is going off the basis that 'outlining' is essentially not natural) then yes, you would use a lighter color on the horse's body. however, if you're creating lighting and the horse has no light points or not enough, then you would need to pick a color from the background. you also pick one from the background if you're creating lighting for something like a sunset or fire, something other than the universal white/light color. so to answer your question, the horse's color doesn't matter, its the type of lighting that matters. just play around with it to develop your technique and to see what works and what doesn't. good luck! let me know if you need more help (:
