I had looked at about three other videos on cast shadow perspective and could not for the life of me figure it out. One instructor even said, "I don't know if I'm doing this right, but bear with me. I'll get it right before I'm finished." Excuse me? But then I watched this one and it was immediately clear. I think using different color lines really helped a lot. All of this guy's videos are really easy to follow. Thanks, but I was beginning to think I would never get it.
Thank you so much, I started to learn painting drawing and shading recently at age of 31. So was struggling a bit with this cast shadow shadow shape and length.. thanks for this. Am excited to try this and move forward into my art journey.
Absolutely LOVE your brushes! Hey, by the way...totally random...I think our Dad's know each other. I think I played golf with your Dad at some point. Really cool guy. It's how I found your brushes.
How can I get and use your brushes, do you have a page where they are free for download, or pay? I was watching and thinking, "Man, I'd like to have that brush!"
the circle one only works if it is a flat circle right? coz if it’s a sphere, then the shadow is casted as a circle from the light source, which is different to the circle we see from our perspective
i would imagine if we need a more accurate depiction of the cast shadow, the square should be drawn perpendicular to the light source, instead of a square form our perspective
sorry this is a great tutorial but I wanted to ask, because what you demonstrated in the video is about the light source is on the background, very far away from the object, what if the light source is very close, like above the object? how would you draw the cast shadow according to your method? Edit: its okay i figured it out
u can also draw diagonals from the angles of rectangle which is on the ground and then draw a parallel line to the sides of rectangle and u will get the correct points to draw an ellipse correctly. ( pff. I must learn English grammar :D).
I cannot find a solution, where the lightsource is in front of the object. Your examples only work with backlighting. How would you find the Shadow VP then?
Help please... I've spent 3 days triying to figure this out but the lines from the ligth source and the shadow vanishing point never cross each other!! What am I doing wrong?
Why does everybody teaching this always only uses examples of placing the vanishing point of the light on the distant visual horizon? The light could be, not the sun, but a lamp standing right beside the object or anywhere in front of or even behind myself, thus, the direction would drastically change accordingly -

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen on shadow perspective. Thank you so much.
This was so helpful! Will be referring to it often as I learn how to draw at the ripe old age of 68. Never too late!

This helped a lot thanks!
Which software are you using please tell
the circle one only works if it is a flat circle right? coz if it’s a sphere, then the shadow is casted as a circle from the light source, which is different to the circle we see from our perspective
i would imagine if we need a more accurate depiction of the cast shadow, the square should be drawn perpendicular to the light source, instead of a square form our perspective
Indeed, the example shown is not for a 3D sphere, but for a flat circle. Though thats not clear in this video.
V nice v interesting lesson.

Edit: its okay i figured it out
