For those curious, light fall-off is also called the Inverse Square Law. Every time you double the distance to a light source, the apparent brightness perceived from it is reduced to a quarter of what it was. For example, if you have a light bulb at 100 meters away from you and an apparent brightness of 100 lumens, that level of luminosity will be reduced to 25 lumens when you move to 200 meters from the light bulb. It also applies to any mechanical wave traveling through a medium but it's most commonly used for light.
We just might! In the meantime, one of our favorite digital painting teachers, with a strong focus on lighting, is Jeremy Vickery. You might find some useful info on his channel youtube.com/@lightingmentor
@@ProkoTV I subscribed to him a year ago and asked him the same thing. My workflow is to first create an object, then add soft lighting, followed by direct lighting. But I struggle with getting the soft lighting right. I’ve followed other teachers like Marc Brunet, Marco Bucci, and Lucas Peinador, but it still doesn’t seem to be enough. My objects always end up looking flat.
@@desmond1354 Hmm! Okay! We'll see what we can cook up, We have some basic lighting videos coming up with our Drawing Basics course but those are very general explanations. Hopefully, we can make what you're looking for! Thanks for asking about it.
@@ProkoTV Oh, thanks. Sorry. I was indeed stuck looking into those steely eyes. I did register that pop up as a Suscribe bottom. At the middle of the video I check in the description who the artist was. Then I looked over the bar to see if there was ever a time when a name tag appeared and I didn't see one.
I missed it too cuz my brain thought it was an add- since most videos use that quick 5 second pop up for an add- while news reports or documentaries will have the person's name in the bottom left for the entire time, if not a 3rd of the time they are speaking. also: since I can't click a pop up name in the video- it would be nice to have it in the description so I can copy paste the name and follow the artist on socials, please. :)
Agreed! We think Jon was using the word in the colloquial sense (like when people say "literally" or "decimated" but clearly don't mean the actual definitions of those words) because he wasn't getting into direct mathy numbers behind every concept. But the words have meaning and to calling it out is good! What else are UA-cam comments for?? lol
@TheAzhighwayman Reflected light value occurs when light bounces off an object or surface. You can see it near the shadow areas. Halftones are the areas that are partially hit by direct light. They transition around the form. They are not the same lol😅
@@chenille-w5iI suggest you study russian arts! I studied at Repin academy of art for three years which I'm sure you don't know about 😂 Reflected light value is the same as halftone my friend.
We can understand if the materials in the course weren't the type of info you were looking for a course to start off with. What he covered in his lessons was all very important fundamental concepts and digital art deep dives that apply to much more than just Photoshop, though that's what he demos in. There are more instructors in the second half of the course and master demos with Bryce Kho, Tiffanie Mang, Marco Bucci and more that might be covering what you want. Bryce demos in Procreate if you're just looking for other software being used.

this is one of the best explanation about light due to the length of this video
Oh man, this was great. I never found a good explanation on the ambient light. Finally got it. Thank you so much guys!
8:41 man this light and shadow lesson give me goosebump
My drawings are slowly improving.
I mean, I've watched tons of your videos. 😅You guys have great tips. Thank you.❤
Congrats on the improvement!
didn't expect to see Little witch academia!
thx for the lesson I will try to use light fall off more in my animations

thank you. this is going to be very thankful.
this dude have to make his own YT Channel he is so skilled
Jon is a busy man at his concept art job in games. Maybe someday he'll have time for a channel, though.
This was awesome! 🥳👍🏽🎉
Please make an entire video about how to paint soft lighting
We just might!

New favorite proko free video
Thanks for liking it!
thanks for great video
ooh im learning about his in my perspective class !!!!
Very cool!
hell yeah new vid !!!!
Hmmmm very interesting!!!
❤
Yoooo another vid
I was baited by the yorick thumbnail, but I stay
That's one of our favorite pieces from Jon! Glad you stayed for the info 🙌
I wish that somewhere in the Title, Description or Video it says the name of the artist that is giving the lesson.
00:06 has his name and social info.
But we understand. You got stuck looking into those steely eyes when it came up.
it does at 0:07!! It’s Jon Neimeister

@@ProkoTVLMAO I’ve gotta use that one day 😂
0:31 its not exponentially darker >:(((( it is the inverse square law >:((((( double the distance, quarter the brightness >>>>:(((((

Remember Reflected light value and halftone value are the same!
Not exactly
That's the exact opposite lol
@@ez_is_bloo no it's not

This is the same artist who made the useless digital painting course using photoshop.
What do you mean
