Lighting the face

Asking a friend to model for you always helps push the realism, especially with such a specific lighting scenario. Knowing where the light falls on the cheekbones, nose and lips is a huge time-saver. The dramatic light from the torch leaves half of his face in shadow, but that doesn’t mean we can neglect it! Luisa uses a slight blue/grey bounce light from the top of the dungeon to subtly sculpt the planes of the face and make it look more three-dimensional.
