We saw previously at the How to Draw Cast Shadow using PARALLEL source light (such as the sun).
Today let’s see more about DIVERGING source light (such as 1 or multiple projectors).
The “Diverging source light” would fit better for objects you could hold in your hand for example.
How to draw Cast shadows with Diverging source light easily!
1. Draw cast shadow with multiple sources of lights
Cast shadow with a closer projector to the volume.
Try to draw a few and test a minimum of 5 different sources of light.
Take a pen and let me know how it goes in the comments below!
Note:
Try to draw Cast shadows without using any ruler to trace the straight lines.
It’s a good habit to take from the start.
If needed, you can click here to get a tutorial on how to draw straight lines without a ruler.
2. Cast shadow with front source light
3. Cast shadow with back source light
4. Draw infinite possibilities of source lights
Feel free to resize the cylinder with rails to explore an infinity of possibilities for light sources.
Drawing exercise:
your cylinder does my head in,I thought the light source had to be shown at a right angle to the floor but that just looks like you have drawn the light on the rail at the top, but at the front of the cylinder and then connected it to the floor at the back. 🙂
i’ve never seen someone teach shadows easier than this 😀 … thanks alot for sharing this with us ^_^
Ahah, when I created this “technique of projector rails”, I also wished people taught me like that too lol.
