The L2 demos were very insightful, especially the ‘design & exaggerate’ aspect. Such as picking out an area as the focal point and designing the light’s position & shadow shapes around it, and exaggerating the hardness of bony landmarks. I keep defaulting back to copying what I see in the references, but these demos reminded me that I always can/should alter what I see to create a more intriguing drawing.
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
This lesson shows you how to take a flat-lit photo of an arm and invent your own light source. You'll learn my process for shadow mapping invention, from a quick layin to designing interesting and believable shadow shapes. I'll demonstrate how to place core shadows and cast shadows to reveal the 3D form of the muscles. We'll also cover how to use soft and sharp edges to make the shadows feel more realistic.

Let's invent shadows on a flat-lit arm. I'll imagine a light source, then map out the core and cast shadows to describe the underlying 3D forms.
