Im doing a charcoal portrait of a friend and want her to send me some photos for reference. She just has a good iPhone but no studio or lights/reflectors etc. What is the easiest thing for her to do to achieve some good Rembrandt lighting in this instance? Would it be best to shoot in colour then desaturate or shoot in B&W? Or is there a different lighting that suits charcoal sketching that gives good emotive and artistic effects for reference photos?
I sometimes will desaturate color from a photo reference if it's too distracting but color or black and white are both fine. I personally like Rembrandt light but it's a matter of preference really, A fairly strong light coming from above, slightly in front & slightly off to the side is a simple explanation of it, but a google search of Rembrandt lighting will give you a more thorough explanation of the setup. Hope that helps!
Watching you really is incredible. Thank you so incredibly much. May I ask, on patreon, is it voice over tutorials with line arts? I think I would be too scared to try without one. I guess I’m not really afford to, but I dream of being able to . Thank you so incredibly much
Hi Paige, Thanks so much! Drawing isn’t anything to fear, just try to relax and have fun exploring your process and progress. I have a lot more videos on Patreon and most have commentary while I’m drawing. They’re not really tutorials, more of a discussion of technique and tips while I’m drawing. They are meant to be instructional and informative, just not structured in a step-by-step way. I hope you give it a try and best of luck with your drawing!
please keep posting videos. I am learning so much from you!! Best teacher ever !
