#Lighting Tips

[mischieviem]

Do you have any tutorials or art process posts? I'm specifically wondering about the lighting in your kisses post, it's so magical, but anything would be great ♥

I don't have a recent one so- here's a very simple explanation

Here's the drawing before I've done any lighting.

I then make an overlay layer and make a gradient depending on the lighting tone I want and lower the opacity. I find this gives the flat colors a sort of dimensionality.

Then I make a screen layer and place rim light according to where I want the light source to be coming from- then duplicate that layer- Gaussian blur it and lower the opacity

And there we have some simple lighting!

How do you get good lighting without blinding yourself?

[mindfulstudyquest]

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect LED Bathroom Mirror

Finding the ideal lighting for your bathroom can be challenging, but replacing outdated incandescent lights with LED fixtures is a smart choice. Among the best options to consider is an LED bathroom mirror, which combines functionality with modern design. This guide will help you understand what to look for, where to buy, and how to install your new mirror.

What Is an LED Bathroom Mirror?

An LED bathroom mirror is equipped with built-in LED lights that offer superior illumination compared to traditional bulbs. These mirrors come in various styles: front-lit mirrors have lights along the edges, backlit mirrors feature lights mounted behind the glass, and some models have lights positioned along the sides. Each design enhances your bathroom's lighting in different ways, so choose one that suits your needs.

How to Choose the Right LED Mirror for Your Bathroom

Determine Your Needs: Think about what you'll use the LED mirror for. If you need it for makeup application or hairstyling, opt for a mirror that provides natural, even light. For smaller bathrooms, a compact LED mirror might be the best fit. Your personal preferences and bathroom size will guide your choice.

Set a Budget: Investing in a large LED mirror can be significant, but options are available for every budget. Determine how much you’re willing to spend and select a mirror that fits within your financial plan while still enhancing your bathroom's look and functionality.

Choose Quality: Select a high-quality LED mirror that includes features like copper-free glass, dimmable lighting, and an integrated heating pad to prevent fogging. An anti-fogging mirror ensures a clear reflection even after a hot shower, making your bathroom experience more enjoyable.

Where to Buy Your LED Bathroom Mirror

For a wide selection of LED mirrors and expert advice on installation, visit The Homeware Hub. We offer various models to fit every style and budget, ensuring you find the perfect match for your bathroom. Our team can assist with choosing the right mirror and handle installation, so you can enjoy a well-lit, stylish space without hassle.

Transform your bathroom with a high-tech LED mirror from The Homeware Hub and make your grooming and bathing routines more enjoyable. Say goodbye to dim lighting and hello to a bright, functional bathroom space!
