Casting Shadows

I really did learn a lot in my perspective class. The next trick of the trade I learned was about shadows and how to measure out how far out a shadow should actually go. We started with a fairly simple, quick sketch using a light and an object. I picked several near-by objects... a stress ball in the shape of a globe, a can of Diet Cherry Coke, and a Star Trek tricorder.

Next we did a little more precise pictures with basic shapes. Things worked out fairly well for that as well, I think.

The final big assignment for this week used a light source and also included reflections. I had fun with this particular assignment. I tried a number of new things, including a curved bridge, trees, and of course, Snoopy's doghouse. I was quite please with how it turned out.i
