Many beginner artists make similar mistakes when constructing shadows.
Today I’d like to share a simple method for checking the direction and length of a shadow in your drawing. It’s a general principle that works well for human figures, trees, street lamps, and other simple vertical objects in daylight.
And remember: the higher the sun, the shorter the shadows. The lower the sun is above the horizon, the longer the shadows become. Now you also know how to determine their correct direction, position, and length.
