Light & Shadow: Tips for Drawing Boxes

Video Transcript

OK, so let's continue. Do some cross etching. So, you get the idea of how shading works. And since this is going to be, this is how the shadow part is the darkest part. This was kind of dark, but not as dark. And then we still have shadows on this side, but we're going to make this one kind of lighter. But still this is going to be darker than this part because we have that reflective light we have to keep in check. So, like I said, this reflective light is coming into the box. So, we're keeping this kind of light in here, that when it gets to more of where it meets the light or the change of light it's going to have more of a contrast. And since you've got to remember that the light is kind of right here on this corner just make sure that you don't get that too dark. So that's real quick on how shadows roughly work, how you would execute them. Obviously in a better manner, faster, using more of a blending tool, which I'll eventually get into later. How blending works and how you can shade. So, that's your basics on shadows and light.
