SHADOW TUTORIAL
Made by me
I was having trouble with one of my shadows for my last manip, and that inspired me to make a shadow tut. You'll probably recognise the horse from my Either Way graphic.
Hope it helps someone! It's a pretty general technique, just thought I'd help some people out.
The next tut will be...
Shadows in water!

Thanks, guys!

Very useful. I make dark manips because I couldn't figure out how to do a shadow. And I "forgot" a shadow on a few. lmao
Favorited! (i think that's a word..)

I just have one side-note....the front left foot doesn't really look natural.
But i can look over that, and have sparkly eyes over the turorial!!

Yep, that was definitely helpful. What tool do you use to 'squish' the shadow though? Because I'm not getting that one, unless it's just free transform...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad it helped you!
It is actually Free Transform, haha. Ctrl+T is just the shortcut.

Just checking, because usually when I use free transform, I hold down shift so that the image stays in scale. So I'm guessing you just meant to do it without holding shift. xD

Ahh, I see.
I've actually never tried holding shift with free transform, haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It helps a lot when you scale images down.

I imagine it would, haha.

That would be a font called Champagne & Limousines .
I downloaded it from DaFont.com, I think.
