The art of Painting xD

Guys guys help xD

I am trying to paint portraits of my sims in the game xD

But I cant get the lighting right during the 'paint from reference' screen capture :(

I tried alot of different things, but tbh I just dont know what am I doing wrong ;p

I tried to change stuff and put more light behind the model and less in front but as you can see in the screenshot, its either too much or light or to little ;p

I was hoping that maybe some of you tried that too and figured it out ;p
If anyone knows how to do that right, I will love you for ever xD

Have you tried controlling light intensity?
If I'm painting a model, I usually place him/her/it between a triangle of lights, two in front one on the back, that's what works best for me together with lights color and intensity.

I tried different intensity but its like in the picture, the paintings on the right are too bright and the paintings on the left are too dim ;p I only used 2 lights so far ;p ill try it your way xD Thank you :)

Do you remember by any chance which lamps did you use ? Were they hanging or standing or wall mounted ?
