Books Mentioned:
📖 1. James Gurney - Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter
📖 2. Richard Yot - Light for Visual Artists: Understanding and Using Light in Art & Design
(^ My Thoughts: I personally find 'Light for Visual Artists' to be more on point for studying lighting, as a digital artist. 'Color and Light' was a fantastic book, but its focus on traditional painting techniques and usage of paintings as examples, can sometimes make it challenging for me to grasp its application on digital illustration.)

In Japanese there is actually a name for what you called dappled light: komorebi (木漏れ日), referring specifically to the sunlight filtered through trees. That's probably why it's such a common theme in a lot of japanese media and illustrations
-
Yes, the art is stellar, but can we also take a moment to enjoy the editing. It's so professional and calm in a sense.
-
I just wanna say, you're not only a great artist who pays so much attention to details when breaking down these processes— you're also an amazing content creator, your videos are always greatly edited, concise, and well thought of. There's not one boring content from you and I've learned so much. With that, we are grateful for your hard work! Much love💙
-
Most of Rella's illustrations really have a good balance between the Japanese anime art and the Chinese style of semirealism! A lot of the lighting techniques she uses are shared amongst the biggest Chinese artists, and I'd be really interested in seeing you try to break down some of the techniques from chinese artists as well
-
When we needed him most. He makes a youtube video to help all of us gets better.
-
Having the technical knowledge but missing an understanding of fundamentals I think is something most of us struggle with. Seeing you improve throughout this video was beyond incredible! I always feel like I'm learning with you, and I just can't state enough how grateful I am that your content exists. Phenomenal video!
-
I honestly think your satisfying editing style is also an art on it's own, and makes it easier to visually digest and understand the stuff you've learned.I've also noticed some awesome improvement in your work, both in your art and editing! Keep up the great work! Also: what software do you use to edit your videos?
-
This is such a great video! I’ve always loved Rella’s work, as I love doing dramatic lighting, and wanted to study her for a long time. Awesome video as always!
-
I'm so impressed with how your art has evolved over these course of videos. I'm always judging my art, too critically, and end up not improving much. Now I get that I should be understanding the theory that goes behind every technique, and I shouldn't be scared to use artists' works to improve my own art. Thank you so much!!
-
Wake up babe, tppo just uploaded a new video
-
Ive been an artist for several years and only recently realized that my lack of fundamental knowledge was holding me back — your videos have made it so much easier to get into studying those fundamentals and I cant put into words how much you’ve helped me!! You’re doing amazing work ♡
-
discovered you 11 months ago,now this is just improvement after improvement,im gonna keep saying it. This is what the community was missing,a niched down channel on this specific art style with specific editing style. You will not only be recognizable but memorable,keep up the good work. Much love
-
I love how everything started as, "Wow, i need to learn more lighting tricks" and then the artist reality kicks in and becomes: COMPOSITION, TEXTURES, LIGHT FUNDAMENTALS, 3D MODELING-
-
I always find myself feeling a bit bored when I watch art tutorials, but your editing is always so fun and easy to digest, it's easy for me to focus and actually really enjoy the tutorial! Your art is also beautiful, so it makes the video all the more enjoyable. Thank you for another great vid and inspiration!
-
こういう努力できるん人が才能も絵も伸びるんだろうな…… 2ヶ月諦めずに研究し続けれるの尊敬しかない……
-
The Color and Light book is amazing! I've been studying it ever since I got it and I feel like I've been improving a lot. You've made a great point in this video. It's not just technique that's important, it's being able to look at the world and understand how light and shadows work. So many beginner artists end up not improving because they refuse to learn the basics and instead get stuck searching for the perfect brush or perfect program. Great video!
-
I screamed at 8:02- whatever I havent finished the video, but I really like how you applied Rella’s technique to the illustrations you made! And since Rella is one of my most fav artists I’m so happy this video exists so thank you for doing it😊😊 Edit 1: WOW I really love the sunset one! AND THE ANIMATION IN 13:25 IS SO COOL AS WELL
-
Seeing your methodological approach to learning as well as your progression is so inspiring. These new drawings you've made are on another level! You are an amazing artist as well as a teacher.
-
Seeing your art improve over time is a treat that hits me right in the heart. Good work.
-
