Quote - Are you wanting to know how to make the background blurry while keeping the figure "crisp"? If so that is done using filters in post work.  Gausian or zoom blurs, softening etc.

Oh no the background isn't important.

I want to get that certain lighting effect on the character, I am just wondering if its textures as well or just lighting to get that certain effect on their skin. and clothes

Don't let failures get to your heart, and also do not let success get to your head.
