Class Description:

Shadows can seem mysterious and complicated, but here's the truth: they follow basic geometric rules that quickly feel intuitive. In this class, we'll draw basic forms and figure out the geometry of where shadows will be cast so we can clearly see how it exists in space.

You'll learn a simple system for understanding light sources and creating convincing shadows that make your drawings pop. Once you get this down, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to draw realistic shadows that make sense.

What You Will Learn:

  • The basic geometry of shadow placement (no equations necessary)
  • How to determine shadow direction based on light source
  • How to draw cast shadows that look realistic and convincing

Supplies You'll Need:

  • Softer drawing pencils (HB to 8B)
  • Blending stump or tortillion
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Sketchbook paper
  • Ruler or string/yarn
