"Before you even get that far you need to understand PBR material and how to edit the material to be more correct and accurate for this workflow, so we stop by Photoshop and Quixel Bridge to get a good starting base. This will train you to spot poor environments and troubleshoot why your lighting is poor. Once you do that your lighting will be drastically better."
