Content

Practice for how I work shadows and depth into my recent work. The Photoshop file provided includes the base layer, my shadow layer and a fresh shadow layer for anyone wanting to try a different lighting scheme.

I find adding in an arrow to indicate the primary light source helps a bunch in visualizing where the light will hit and be strongest. Have fun!
