This is the second light lesson I'm reading. I read the one about drop shadows and shading. There was so much there I will study that again and this one.
I can't draw, but I never know what to do with light when I do try to draw. All I ever put in is the drop shadow (I didn't know it was called that) and even that I handle badly. I use GIMP lighting effects but they are confusing. It is wonderful to have all of this explained. Thank you very much, teacher :)

It's my pleasure!
Thank you for reading the tutorials and also thank you very much for the tip. :-)
I would absolutely encourage you to continue to handle it badly, but just with a little wink to the rules of the reality. :-)
You'll laugh, but sometimes imperfection looks perfect in the bigger picture. You know, nothing in nature is perfectly geometric. Nothing is for the specific moment completely predictable or completely comprehensible. Even a drop shadow can be subject to many different influences. And the brain does not trust the perfect picture.
Happy little accidents can therefore make a drop shadow perfect, above all.
The tutorial about shadow itself, is next on the LMAC School list. I've almost finished it.
