About the video: shadow of a solid
Overview
“Drop shadow is one of the most fascinating subjects in drawing. However, as it involves a lot of geometry, it requires some effort and attention.

On this drawing, we’ll make it horizontally, the same direction of our horizontal reference of the solid. The altitude of the light is its slope. We can imagine it like this: the altitude is its slope. What angle did I use? 45 degrees. Remember that this...”
