This is great. It's a little simplified. The light direction and light angle are parallel only when the light direction is parallel to the picture plane (the observer). When the light direction is oblique to the picture plane (the observer), the parallel lines (light direction and light angle) converge to their respective vanishing point. Will you be covering this or have you already?

Sunaya correct! I’m trying to make my videos accessible to all, so that confidence is built and sketching is loose and expressive. My focus is mostly upon helping designers with communication skills. Shadows suggesting shape and form, quickly put down and building a more communicative page of ideas, efficiently and economically.

Thank you. That’s a good idea for a future video, thank you.

It would be worth pointing out in this tutorial the difference between an artificial light source and the sun. If the shadow is cast by the sun then the light rays would be parallel due to the sun's great distance. If the light source is an artificial one e.g. a street lamp, then the light rays can be drawn from the light source. A simple explanation is that when you move sideways from an artificial light, the light stays fixed in its position whereas if you try and move sideways from the sun, then sun moves with you. Therefore the sun rays are parallel. It is a common error perpetuated in many perspective tutorials.

@productdesignermaker

Жыл бұрын

I get what you’re saying but would suggests that’s better covered in a follow up video rather than one that covers the principle in short, for an audience that want the fundamentals, to develop their sketching. To include it at the start might overcomplicate for some. I wouldn’t describe this as perpetuating an error.

Hi there! I have a few questions: - How do you get the angle of the light - is it something that WE determine? - If so, in the case where the light source is from the side and not the top, if there are multiple objects, the angle will vary depending on the distance of the object to the light source. Therefore how do you calculate the varying distance of the cast shadow of each object as it progresses further from the light source? - How do you determine the shape and angle of the cast shadow of an inorganic object, especially with the above question in mind?

Wow

The objective of the product design and its sketch is to generate a scene with artificial light, we ourselves are somehow placing a cold white LED projector as a photographer does in his studio when he wants to advertise a product. We never deal with sunlight and ambient light because it is not our intention to seek an artistic purpose with a sentimental weight, but that our sketch can be understood in the quickest and clearest way by our client. I clarify this because there are comments that demand to deepen the subject when in fact with the basic principles such as light, shadow, shadow cast and translucent objects is more than enough in our area.

Yep, I’ve simplified it a little to have the light source as an ambient or general light source. If the light angle lines all came from one point, that would describe a spot light.

Anisha k it comes from the top of the light source. Place your light source anywhere you like in theory (though it’s most straightforward when it’s off to the left or right, and backwards a bit), and your light angle comes from the top of it and passes through the light direction line. Hope this helps.
