RE: CGMythology's Sketchbook - Lunatique - 07-04-2025
Personally, I'm not a big fan of casting a face in shadow and then just have the light hit the tip of the nose, like on that female character. I try to avoid it in both photography and in artworks, because it tends to fragment the face too much and draws too much attention to the nose. When I see it in other people's work, it's always jarring. Even in cases where I want a moody/creepy/mysterious look, I avoid highlighting just the tip of the nose.
