You were born to do this 😍

As usual, fantastic course. Never thought about the color reflection vs just doing a greyscale shadow,... Thank you ..

I want to thank you for all your clear and easy-to-follow tutorials. Including teaching materials.

Great tutorial Mr. Nace aka "Pen tool guy" :)

I like to call them 1) grounding shadow - for the close to the object darker shadow and 2) the cast shadow for the shadow that defines the type and direction of the light.

This is exciting. Thanks a bunch

Thank you! You saved me some time at work

Great tutorial. I have always done it this way myself. I thought I was being original ;)

Incredible!!! Now I need to try it.

Very well done Sir.

Thank you! I love you!

"Calm down your blur" I honestly laughed

Amazing thank u

Literally could not stop laughing at calm down your blur. Just knowing I’m not the only one who talks to myself like that when I edit anything... key! 😂👏🏽

Amazing tutorial

thank you so much!

Helpful 👌

This channel makes awesome vidsos love it 😍

Wow... great

Learned again from you!

thank you!

Thank you.

After all this, duplicate soft shadow layer (which is in multiply mode), make new layer Overlay, control opacity of both layers. It gives more realistic and light effected shadow look on color backgrounds. (experiment switching Multiply and Overlay layers above and below)

Nice!

thank you sir,,,,

amazing

thx!

U r great 👍

great video. and now how to make harsh shadows

Dear Aaron, when i export my composition the brush strokes become choppy and each shade separates from others making the shadow look choppy and unsmooth. How can i fix this?

can i know what type of brush did you used? because when i paint it , the shadow color looks darker.

Well, this is wonderful for round subjects. This process doesn’t look like it would work well on subjects that have a complicated outline (like humans waving or giraffes running). Can you please create a tutorial on these types of subjects when a single light source (like the sun) is in differing positions (in front of subject, behind the subject, to the side of the subject, low in sky, high in sky, etc.)?

Hey been watching your vids for a while now but how do you get your brush to be so soft. Even thought I have my hardness at 0%

Hello,try to play with the opacity and the flow

Bravo.

I did the same at my workplace and got fire because I took too long =)) honestly this is good but unless you'll go for a billboard or a massive print, people wouldn't see the differences if you just simply use a oval soft brush and did 1 layer of shadow

But on the other side, paying attention to this kind of detail will improve your understanding of how light and shadows interacts.

Dear Aaron, in minute 1:27 how we can take color sample in layer 1 and get the color of the pomegranate’s shadow (layer 0) ? I try do that and get no color because the selected layer is layer 1

@listlessh

This is really late, but you probably had the layer's mask selected. Masks are always grayscale, so color sampling with one selected returns only the converted gray value.

Doesn’t the pomegranate have a specular highlight from a angled forward light yet the shadow seems to be occurring from an angled backlight.

"this...piece of fruit". It took a while for Aaron to remember it's called a pomegranate. 😁

PiXimperfect white version :D

good

great video. it was not enough just to add a little noise to the shadow

Totally unrelated, but how are you able to constantly keep good posture???

Bounce light is important - in your environment colours spill onto the adjacent surfaces (we learned this in 3D school to make more realistic lighting)

Shadows always have a color. It could be environmental one & object color as well. Black & grey shadows look very fake.

if I was you I would just take the color black get it to like 26% opasatie and then I would change the brush downwards make it bigger and paint like 3 dots under the pomgrannade

You better calm down that blur before it gets out of hand haha :D

Just clicl on the fx below ...there is option to creat shadow...no work at all

He didn't tell which brush to use 🙂

Oh no. Something's very wrong with your shirt collar. Now you have to redo this whole video.

Dude.. that shirt and background.. what happened to you?
