I'm not sure if I understood the post correctly and I understand that your english isn't the best.
So I assume you take requests to test how to draw lighting and shadows. So here's my character :>

I used to go to school for art so I could be at least a little bit of help.

What I normally do is figure out where the source of light is coming from. From what I see with yours, is that it is coming from the middle of the piece, reflecting off of the character, which leads to my next point:

How will it reflect off of the character?

I have noticed that since the light is coming off of the edges of the character (since the light source is behind the character) I would then go from there.

With the shadows on this one, it makes sense. However, if it was a bit more darker around the middle of the chara (nose, middle of the coat, etc.) then it would be more realistic.

I have some examples here:

examples




I hope this helps at all!!!

Adding onto this, this can work with objects or basically anything around the setting as well (ie a ball, grass, different objects).
examples i have found online but can help

Woah, that looks really good, and the shading/lightning is also nice. Thank you so much :>>>.
Actually since you mentioned it, do you provide a version with a less intrusive watermark so I could set it as my avatar somewhere?

yes.(Actually I'm used to providing several versions/layers)
(is email ok?)

And tbh,since I said they are test arts,I made progress in these three days...(there are some mistakes in the shadowed/lit versions.If you need to use it, you can directly use the line draft layer.XD)
next time I'm not going to draw a black background with out asking any details about the story of the character bc arts too dark XDDDD

I draw at midnight and now testing a new light version. ;P

Any other ways besides e-mail? You could just send it here. Would be easiest. Or alternatively a private message on osu! with the link to the images.

Thanks for the line draft, however I'd like the version with shading already, specifically this one

Just without the watermark if possible. Since it looks the coolest :D
