Light and Shade Discussion Excerpts

Light and Shade

How will you light your drawing?  If you have light, you have shadows.

1) Determine where your light is coming from
2) Shadows will naturally occur where the light cannot reach

Shadows primarily occur on solids. 
Reflections primarily occur on water.

Work to remove the inconsistencies between light and shadow.

If possible, don't be afraid to move your light or your subject to increase the values the scene before you draw.
