    This is the first video on this topic I've seen that correctly shows the shadow vanishing point doesn't have to be on the horizon line. Everyone else thinks it has to be on the horizon line.

    Hey spencer, great vid as always with loads of useful tips. Can we get a vid on annotations and how to make them look good and sort of make them tie in with the sketch. I know you mentioned it before but I would like to see a full video on it, if you have the time. Thanks

    I didnt realy understand the lastt one because part of the shadow was on the side of the sun. it seems like the shadow should have been on the side farthest from the sun. Love your stuff dude

    Thanks for that bit about the natural light. Scott Robertson's book is a little vague on how to set the ground plane to define that shadow. As a newbie, I was wondering how the heck to do that!

    Hey Spencer, great Video. But what happens if the object is in the air and the light is coming Not from above? You often draw cubes that are Sticked to each other and i wonder how you draw the shadow of the cubes that are in the air.

    Hey Spencer, I'm not grasping the concept here that the sun is near the top right corner of the cube yet, the shadow casts on the right side. Shouldn't the shadow case on the bottom left? I think I'm just missing something and want to be clear. Thanks for the video!

    but surely the base of the light source in your drawing is different from the horizon line for the 2 point perspectively drawn cube meaning that you've placed the light source and the cube on different planes, no?
