    “keep in mind the shadows dont always have to make sense” oh my god that is so enlightening. This whole video is enlightening. I always struggled to understand how anime shadows are done, like the process of figuring out where they go, and I’ve been bashing my head into a wall doing studies thinking i was just dumb. But now I know that I’ve been sacrificing the read of the scene for realism.

    4:56 This is actually the best tip for drawing shadows for me.. "Remember that the shadows doesnt need to make sense"

    I'm glad this went to my recommendations. It's really useful and helpful since I'm not yet good at shading.

    THIS is perfect! What I exactly need! I wanted to try short animation, but blockade 1 is "I CAN'T DRAW GOOD ENOUGH!"
    We need more basic drawing guides/tips. I was so happy i saw this!
    Thank you so much for this @Dong Chang!

    Awesome tutorial! : ) I really like how much you can cover in such short time in your videos without making it overwhelming!
    Also, I noticed in a lot of rough animation in anime, that the color within the shadow is usually different (like clothes having a blue color, and skin having a red or orange color) is this something you could maybe consider making a tutorial on? Like which colors are used, and how and why they’re used.

    I alway wonder how do you shade round-ish objects, like the ribbon at 3:50 or breasts, the shape of the shadow look so cool but i dont think it’s based on realistic thing (at least i could not recreate them with 3d model) so it’s really hard to learn. Would be cool if you can make a video about the logic behind them, or some useful resource links are more than enough.
