In Tommyguns topic "Soldiers at rest" I made a remark about painting figures (or a model) in a way so that it would appear they are lit by a fire/lamp.
I found where I had seen that and to not clutter up Tommyguns great topic I am posting it here.
I found it on a Dutch forum of which I am also a member.
Remember, this effect has been done by painting, I have also translated the maker's explanation:
To give the whole thing a different look, this time I chose the Object Source Lightning (OSL) technique, a technique that uses a different light source for the light and shadow effect.
To paint this effect, you first determine where the light is coming from. This is the checklist if you use an airbrush with pure white. You spray this from the direction from which the light comes in an arc with the light point as the pivot point, so to speak. This depends on how strong the light needs to be with the pressure in question. Strong light more pressure (=is more white) and vice versa.
This is actually the same as applying a primer to the figures, where the white is then sprayed on top of the unpainted figure to demonstrate the light and shadow effect. At OSL, therefore, from the light source.
Then you apply the light and shadow here with the relevant color (here yellow), so that is to say from the side, taking into account that the closer to the light source, the lighter the color. Here this almost white (ice yellow) had gone into orange with deep orange (almost red) in the most distanced spots. This was done with multiple washes to get a gradient of color.
