the first time i watch this video was in art class when our teacher showed it to us to help further our understanding. We were in 8th grade, so just wanted to let you know that once upon a time you had like 20 thirteen year olds grouped together to watch your video and every single one of them was fascinated by how clean your sketches are. some kid called you a hacker for sketching with a pen.

[@productdesignermaker]

Awesome to hear this, thank you for letting me know! Hacker? 😂😂

[@jacklewis2540]

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]

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.

[@karloatl]

So, as I understand this particular video would be under the sunlight right??

[@Jamie_kemp]

@@karloatlYes, or a distant light source rather than a nearby one

[@Nicomicosis]

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.

[@sparsh684]

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?

[@productdesignermaker]

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. Great idea to produce a ‘part 2’ in more depth, for those wanting more. Thank you for your feedback.

[@annanox6993]

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?

[@annanox6993]

If it's too long of an explanation to be written down, I'd just as happily gobble up a video that anyone can kindly redirect me to! I'm legitimately baffled by this and I've got unfinished work from months ago as I've been absolutely clueless hahaha

[@productdesignermaker]

Hi, i’ll try and answer. We Determine the angle of the light ourselves. There is no right or wrong. Imagine a pole with a spotlight attached to the top. The spotlight can be angled however you like, and the pole can be any length you like.

[@productdesignermaker]

If the light source is from the side and not the top, just assume that it is on the top. Any light from below the top would still hit the object and cast a shadow.

[@productdesignermaker]

Do you mean ‘organic’ ie amorphous? If so, look for any distinguishing points that can be used to reference from.

[@rooftopdwelr]

Could someone please explain to me why the LIGHT ANGLE (red line) is drawn parallel to other light angles on a cube? If the drawing is of a single-source light, shouldn't each of the light angles be drawn FROM the light to meet each vertices?... Meaning they all can't be parallel to each other? Thank you :'(!

[@productdesignermaker]

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. You make a good point, but since it’s potentially a complicated concept, it can be off putting for people developing their skills, so hopefully I’ve made it a bit more accessible.

I saw another tutorial where the 4 points on the cube were connected to the light direction point. Same kinda situation for the light source point and the top 4 points. So that brings the question, how are all of the lines parallel?

Hi, I’ve just simplified it a little and assumed a more ambient, rather than spot light.

umm how do we decide what would be the light angle ?

[@productdesignermaker]

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.

[@productdesignermaker]

Yorozura. id hi there. The light source can be anywhere, and the light direction can be anywhere too (so long as it comes from the base of the light source). Imagine a sun rising on the left side of your page, and setting on the right side of your page. It can be anywhere in between, and the shadow will change all day, depending upon the time. I hope this makes sense.

[@PopcornSticker]

how do i know the light angle and direction?

[@productdesignermaker]

PopcornSticker you choose. They can be anywhere within reason. If you put the light source to the left hand side of the paper, then bring the light direction towards the right hand side. The light angle just goes down to cross the light direction (and it starts from the top of the light source). I hope this helps. If you’re still struggling, go back and have another look at the instructions towards the start of the video.

[@PopcornSticker]

@@productdesignermaker soo the angle depends on height of the light source, and the direction - on its position.

[@productdesignermaker]

PopcornSticker yep, if your light source it a tall strip light, the light angle starts from high up. If it’s a low lamp on the floor, it starts from low down.
