How to Shade a Face: Top Light & Flashlight Effect – Two-Value Rendering Practice

Learn how I approach shading a front-facing portrait using top-down light and a focused flashlight effect, modeled in two simple values. This is part of my personal study in understanding how light shapes the face from different angles. I’m still practicing, but wanted to share this attempt in case it helps others who are exploring form and shadow as well. If there’s interest, I’d love to keep doing more like this — side views, top-down angles, and more lighting types. Thanks for watching! Feel free to leave a comment or suggestion. I really appreciate the support!
