Hello Friends of the Fine Arts. It is pointless to talk about a shadow.
In the visual arts, you learn that the shadow comes from the top left. As the intensity of the light source looks like, who knows better than the artist?

But since the artist is free to interpretation, we should rather assess the quality of his drawing. This fact is Excellent.

My five cents!

they're called the laws of physics larry
not the opinions of physics, lol

OK I'll buy that, but it is our job to depict something as clear and understandable as possible, and doesn't that mean visually improving on reality for the sake of clarity?
Sometimes things get lost in a shadow and that's OK if it is done that way for a certain visual impact. Or on the other hand do we need to get Mr. Scribble on the case?
All I am saying is maybe in reality the shadow may be that dark, but for the sake of the image maybe it could be made a little more transparent if for no other reason than to show what's hidden in the shadow more clearly. But that's just my opinion, so get Mr Scribble after me.

i'm gracefully bowing out of this now
and am only replying as it would be rude not to
see you in another thread
