You seem to be understanding that you're supposed to be filling in cast shadows, but I think you're being too selective with how dark your cast shadows need to be for you to fill them in.

To clarify, none of the cast shadows on the paper seem to be describable with a single black line, yet there are several instances on your paper in which you do that. It seems as though you're describing the start or stop edges of the shadow, but you need to actually fill in the shadow form, which you do with a couple of your fully black shapes.

Try to really think about what is casting the shadow, and then describe that thing that's casting the shadow by outlining the shadow and then filling it in.

It's ok if you don't fully understand it, I certainly didn't when I first did the texture analysis.

It's fine, I'm sure it will be better explained when I turn this in and probably will not fully get it as this is far too advanced atm and really should be covered later imo.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.

With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
