Cast Shadows
For purposes of clarity, a distinction is made between the shadowed part of an object (which we will refer to simply as shadow) and the shadow the object creates on another surface (its cast shadow). Each has distinct functions, and knowing them can help you create the illusion of three-dimensional form in your drawings.
A shadow is defined as the part of an object not receiving light. A cast shadow is the shadow on object casts on another surface by blocking the light.
