Heres the drawing Ill be using as an exampel

I know you have asked this before but wasn't sure what part of the drawing you were referring to bc i'm dumb I thought u meant wings.

Now I realize I think you were asking about lighting and shading (hopefully u can correct me if i'm wrong)

What also helped was just listening to sad songs like Loveless version of - Running up that hill ,help with the mood hehehe also being sad :)

I like to start with a sketch layer

Wanted the focus to be grave and shadow thus why the wings are in that position almost like protecting it

This is gonna be long XD

Then on some separate layers I add rough idea of the type of lighting and colors I want

NOW TO GET SERIOUS!!!

Then I add flat colors + all are their own separate layer like for Body, Wings, Grave, Flowers, and background

Then on clipping masks I will add some details to stuff like the Grave textures, name, and other details don't feel like naming them all

Honestly just mess around till happy

I hate how many layers i made this T.T

More details later...

add multiply layers + color of the sky layer for background grass

Now lighting ✨

Basically a-lot of add glow + color dodge layers

Play around with opacity

and a normal layer for the sharper parts of the lighting

NOW TO CONTROL THE WEATHER!!!!🌧 ⛈🌧

I was NOT ABOUT TO DRAW EVERY SINGEL LINE OF RAIN

So instead I used a few brushes that give lots of dots and added a motion blur to them the Rain is multiple layers of rain and some are bigger to hopefully make it more dynamic

I draw the rain drops on shadow and the grave by hand tho T.T

Add some more random layers and play around more with light and colors and stuff and till happy

Also Recommend making a color layer that will make your drawing black and white

That way you can see if its the lighting and shading are doing their job to make it more dynamic without being bias of the many colors

BOOM

DONE!!!

I know i'm not that good at explaining thing or teaching things

Hopefully this is of help to you and anyone else!!! :)

ALSO

I'm still trying to understand lighting myself but these videos are helping me with understanding it!

Would definitely recommend them they are helping me a-lot

Not exactly lighting but this is a cool video too for anyone who wants to play round with fun colors and shapes still trying to understand it myself
