This made me painfully aware that I don't know where the terminator or cast shadow go without a reference

So simple but in the same time hard to know how the shadows are falling and if the terminator always follows the widest edge. ?

These look almost painfully "off" to me, but I can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong--this assignment has revealed just how limited my understanding of light really is! As you can see, I completely lack any understanding of where to place the cast shadow. I know that lines can be drawn from the light source and through the endpoints of the terminator to project one axis of the cast shadow, but I don't see how those lines alone give you enough information to place the cast shadow--how do you its angle and degree and center point (if those are even the right terms)? Am I missing something obvious here?

the cast shadow technically is where the light will be incident at an 90 degree angle to the surface when it is smooth i would suggest you to learn how to draw cross contours and and understanding form before shading as it will make the process to learn shading smoother

I tried to do this in procreate, because I don’t want draw on paper. When I decided to learn more about shading I’ve not expected that my eggs would be so ugly.

You are using the wrong tool, pen-like brush preset only for linear drawings, and a more air-brush like brush for shading. Don't use opaque lines to portrait shadows, use a brush that blends and/or has transparency. If you want to know how good a brush is for achieving good rendering, look how easy you can do a 5 values chart (five squares of different tones of gray, where the darkness gradually increases every square) with said brush preset.
