In my efforts to improve my drawing, I’m drawn to how much shadows add to a picture. I love the depth, the concentration on where the light is falling to GET the shadows, the angle of the sun determining the LENGTH of the shadows and more. I have no clue if I’ll ever be able to do this, but I will try to add some shadows to things as I go.

I love shadows. They add so much to life, and to art. I’m gathering some pictures I’ve found that I’m going to try to draw at some point. I thought I would share some with you.

“Look at the shadows, they look like real people; and look at the people, they look like real shadows!”

I have no idea of whether I can do this or not, but I will really enjoy trying.
