Light and shadow help

You're gonna be drawing those shapes for the rest of your career (with your choice of subject matter of course but you will have to simplify the forms to the 5 basic ones or mixes of them). They are the five basic forms with which you create everything. I understand it can be a frustrating process, and I think it would be a lot easier to help you if we could see the piece of work for the shadow you did.

and one of the fastest ways to improve is to hammer your fundamentals (look at pro athletes what do they constantly come back to practicing and doing well? The fundamental skills, perfecting them and constantly working on them, it's the same for an artist ;) ).

Scott Robertson has a book coming out in nov that covers shadow it's called ' how to render' that may help you out. If you post up your piece with the shadow you worked on I will be able to give you better feedback I would think.
