What you'll learn

  • The basics of reflecting own and drop shadows
  • Reflecting shadows in architecture
  • Shadows coming from diffused and direct lighting
  • Light-shadow appearance
  • Reflecting drop and own shadows coming from cylinders, cones, ovals, balls, and architectural details as well
  • Classical 45 degrees lighting
  • Backlight reflecting - background lighting
  • Lighting coming from high and low located lamps
  • Analysis of the drop (and own) shadow shape and length according to the illuminant location
  • Descriptive geometry
  • The drop shadow reflecting from the object moved up under the picture plane
  • Arches shadow, shadows of wall protrusions
  • Drop shadows on inclined surfaces
  • Reflecting the shadows on horizontal and vertical surfaces (for instance, on a table and a wall)

Description

Shadow reflecting by an accurate method of descriptive geometry

To start with, I would say that this course is my most favourite one!


In this course you will have studied how to create shadows on ordinary objects in architecture.

We will begin with the simplest thing - a point in space, so we will understand how a ray and its projection makes a shadow at an object plane.

Later we will go on with shadow reflecting:


  • on Cone

  • then on Cylinder,

  • and later on a Sphere (Ball) as well,

  • soo, the last one in this row of objects will be a bouncing under the object plane Egg - what will happen with a drop shadow then???

Also we will know what lightning is considered to be classical and what is an academic one.

Will know what own and drop shadow mean.

Will see the shadow shape difference in direct lighting and in diffused way. And does the difference between these lighting types exist at all?


We will draw the lightning from:

  • foreground

  • sideway

  • and background - backlight and unshaded!


Later we will gradually move to architectural buildings and will try to reflect lights and shadows on architectural parts’ orthogonals. And then - on exterior details in isometry.


After the course, you will not have any questions left connected with shadows reflecting, you’ll make sketches of them CORRECTLY and EASILY!

I’m waiting for you at the course!


PS. 15% of the course profit receives a children hospice “The house with light”.


Who this course is for:

  • everyone who wants to learn how to draw from the right basics
