This will be a short study of the ’secondary lighting’ concept we saw previously.
Check this digital painting concept I did few days back.
Notice the usual rendering of the demons structure done through rendering how the light from the left reflects over it.
To give some more drama to the painting, I introduced the ’secondary light’. Instead of just taking the ambient light on the opposite side, I introduced another element to the scene - a secondary light source.
The purple was chosen as it was a light source, and would be complementary to the yellowish hue of the primary light color. If you are not introducing a secondary light, the the ambient light can be rendered by just reducing the saturation and increasing the brightness of the color you have used on the opposite side.
A much larger version is uploaded at deviantART. See the Demon entry at deviantART to study the closeup details.
