Other things to consider

You don’t always have to draw the harsh light line if you just want a soft scene. You can just use the ‘bounce’as the light source.

You can also transform the harsh light line layer to any layer mode options your art program allows.

Feel free to experiment. Also, it takes time and experience to learn the quantities of line thickness, opacity you want of your light layers. So if you find yourself getting frustrated that your work looks nothing like mine don’t worry you’ll get there 🙂

Really nice explanation of lighting!
