Hello, so I have been trying to improve my drawing skills and I really like using the website line of action for my practice sessions. I particularly like it because you are able to mimic a class setting through the website and it provides me with plenty of references. I like the structure it gives me. I now want to improve my understanding and production of shadows/shading/light. Im wondering if there is an online site that will give me a sense of structure and guidance for drawing light and shadows. Does anyone know of any online resources that will aid me in practicing drawing light and shadows?

I would consider myself to be a beginner and whenever I draw shadows, I always feel as if Im doing it wrong and never quite understand the "correct" placement or method for creating shadows or shading. I am open to any other methods for learning how to draw shadows/light. Like I said I really appreciate having a sense of structure, so that I can show up with a mapped out lesson or subject. I always liked art and drawing, but it took me so long to actually pursue art/drawing consistently because I never knew what to draw, and how to set up practice for myself. I never knew how to approach a subject. Sometimes I still don't. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
