That's really helpful! Coming up with my own lighting to make the piece interesting is something I really need to work on. It's one thing to know to emphasize the face in the portrait, but I love how you invented lighting for the summoners and highlighted the action the character is doing. That's another level I never thought of. And I should definitely do more limited value studies. Thanks so much for the lengthy reply!
Aww! You can do it and more
I think for me, I was drawing for a really long time but I wasn't learning efficiently until I started hunkering down and really studying specific things and improving things one by one.
Then, it eventually all adds up. Think I only got good probably a year and a half ago xD
