Just like a musician, it's really important for artists to continue practicing their scales, in this case, lighting practice. I've been slowly working my way through Giovanni Civardi's
Complete Guide to Drawing and have reached the lighting section as it relates to portraits. He has a nice selection of various lighting schemes set up with a plaster bust seen here in the drawings done from the photos in the book. It was very interesting to see numerous lighting ideas and how they really affected the form of the subject.
