Thanks, I really appreciate the help. I will continue to progress and at the same time I'll practice the things I'm lacking at.

So you're saying I should do this a lot? Honestly I don't see how I'll manage to see shadows and draw them correctly no matter how much I try, I think that I just don't understand it (the first sentence you wrote, that every line is in fact a shadow, I don't get it too), but I'll keep trying I guess, I have nothing to lose.

Anyways, should I keep going on with the lessons then? Because from what I've seen the next lesson is drawing a leaf, which requires knowing how to draw texture.

That's it, I think I can't see shadows. And even if I do kind of understand how shadows work on a texture I'm looking at, I can't draw it. It looks like a mess no matter what I try.

I'm having a really hard time drawing textures no matter what they are. For example, when I search for "bronze", I look at those and don't understand them : 1 2. It doesn't look like texture, I don't see light and shadow. It just looks like a big mess and I can't make anything out of it. It happens with other textures as well, I'm not sure where to go from here.
