Perspective Cast Shadows on a Floating Object

[AndrevwZA]

How do you determine how far down the shadow vanishing point should be?

Definitely check out my basic cast shadows tutorial on my page. :)

These videos are great! I was wondering though, would you be able to to another cast shadow video, but one that covers when the shadow hits other objects? I'm running into a problem with my current perspective drawing where a balcony is casting a shadow partially onto the building and into an alleyway, but I can't figure out the process.

I could work on that! If the shadow is hitting a vertical surface (wall, etc) it will change direction and be vertical, if it's hitting an angled surface, it will change direction to that angle. That's a really basic short answer. :)

Thanks, it was very easy to understand and follow. :)

@sloshbg She definitely did a good job! So hard trying to find decent perspective tutorials on youtube. Comprehensive, clear and straight forward. Thanks for the upload! =]
