Have you got Creative Illustration, by Andrew Loomis? There's a great bit in there on lighting (or it could be in another book of his, as I'm not long up), but I also look at film noir stills to see how shadows are dropped. Under-lighting is the one I struggle with most.
The bit about your experience with adding black areas to your art is so relatable I could’ve written it, haha. Amazing work and definitely inspiration for me to step up my shading!
Amazing cover, Matt!
Steamroller Man is such an easy recommend to folks and it just keeps getting better with each page you post. Keep up the great work!
Man, thanks so much Adriano! I really appreciate that!
That cover is brilliant!

Thanks very much! I do have all the Loomis books but haven't looked at them in a while. I'll have to pull them off the shelf!
The Gary Martin book has a wee bit on double lit inking too. I need to get my hands on the DC Guide, by Klaus Janson.
Oh, okay, I'll have to pull those out too! I know I have Gary Martin's book, and I think I have the Klaus one too...

Your artwork is beyond amazing! I look forward to seeing more. Keep up the fantastic job you are doing🤓
Thank you so much! More is on the way!
Great piece. This is an area I’ve really started to study(spotting blacks and lighting in black and white), so this came at a fortuitous time.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Oh thanks!
