Hi Peter,

Hi Peter, Thanks for the comments. Shadows in 2D drawings I indeed usually draw by hand. It's not hard to draw accurate shadows, the rule is pretty simple, you have to imagine your sun is 45° left, 45° towards yourself. So it projects shadows that run 45° right, 45° "deep"... Using 45° has the big advantages that distances in X = distances in Y = distances in Z, so let's say a 1 meter-deep volume will project a 1 meter-wide shadow. This way you can draw shadows pretty fast and intuitively. I should make a small tutorial on the subject one of these days.
