You were born to do this 😍

You are such an awesome teacher... 🙏 God Bless

I want to thank you for all your clear and easy-to-follow tutorials. Including teaching materials.

"Calm down your blur" I honestly laughed

Bruh, you are a genius, may you prosper at your work.

I like to call them 1) grounding shadow - for the close to the object darker shadow and 2) the cast shadow for the shadow that defines the type and direction of the light.

Thanks for all the great content Aaron!

You are the best teacher! And you are funny and kind! Adore you Aaron!! Thank you for all your videos!

Incredible!!! Now I need to try it.

As usual, fantastic course. Never thought about the color reflection vs just doing a greyscale shadow,... Thank you ..

Literally could not stop laughing at calm down your blur. Just knowing I’m not the only one who talks to myself like that when I edit anything... key! 😂👏🏽

Works really well when making content for products! Thank you

Thank you so much to made all difficult works to be so easy. You are most excellent teacher I've found on KZfaq. All the trick and tips are really work.

Well, this is wonderful for round subjects. This process doesn’t look like it would work well on subjects that have a complicated outline (like humans waving or giraffes running). Can you please create a tutorial on these types of subjects when a single light source (like the sun) is in differing positions (in front of subject, behind the subject, to the side of the subject, low in sky, high in sky, etc.)?

Very well done Sir.

Excellent information! It'll help me address my "something's not right" situations when compositing. Thanks!

Shadows are hard! Thanks for the great instruction!

After all this, duplicate soft shadow layer (which is in multiply mode), make new layer Overlay, control opacity of both layers. It gives more realistic and light effected shadow look on color backgrounds. (experiment switching Multiply and Overlay layers above and below)

Great tutorial. I have always done it this way myself. I thought I was being original ;)

Excellent, you are an excellent teacher.

Thank you! You saved me some time at work

Thank you for such great tutorial!

Thank you! I love you!

Wow... great

Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much for sharing!

Amazing tutorial

I always love Aarons shirts

i love this channel

This channel makes awesome vidsos love it 😍

Amazing thank u

Helpful 👌

thank you so much!

Thank you.

Dear Aaron, when i export my composition the brush strokes become choppy and each shade separates from others making the shadow look choppy and unsmooth. How can i fix this?

Learned again from you!

Wow 😁

"this...piece of fruit". It took a while for Aaron to remember it's called a pomegranate. 😁

I did the same at my workplace and got fire because I took too long =)) honestly this is good but unless you'll go for a billboard or a massive print, people wouldn't see the differences if you just simply use a oval soft brush and did 1 layer of shadow

Hey been watching your vids for a while now but how do you get your brush to be so soft. Even thought I have my hardness at 0%

This is exciting. Thanks a bunch

thank you!

PiXimperfect white version :D

amazing

When the student is ready the master will appear and say, Keep in mind, we are not using grayscale shadows here.

great video. and now how to make harsh shadows

thx!

Doesn’t the pomegranate have a specular highlight from a angled forward light yet the shadow seems to be occurring from an angled backlight.

can i know what type of brush did you used? because when i paint it , the shadow color looks darker.

U r great 👍

thank you sir,,,,

Nice!

Totally unrelated, but how are you able to constantly keep good posture???

Shadows so perfect but why red shadow?

Bravo.

Dear Aaron, in minute 1:27 how we can take color sample in layer 1 and get the color of the pomegranate’s shadow (layer 0) ? I try do that and get no color because the selected layer is layer 1

great video. it was not enough just to add a little noise to the shadow

if I was you I would just take the color black get it to like 26% opasatie and then I would change the brush downwards make it bigger and paint like 3 dots under the pomgrannade

good

Just clicl on the fx below ...there is option to creat shadow...no work at all

You better calm down that blur before it gets out of hand haha :D

i subscribed to you))

Making a shadow. Easier than eating a pomegranate

mantul

❤

the tutorial was good but the speaker was talking too fast, I'm a beginner at this stuff so I had to keep rewinding. It was like taking a tutorial from the flash

Look at that shirt

how did you make layer mask appear on the screen black and white

He didn't tell which brush to use 🙂

hi

Oh no. Something's very wrong with your shirt collar. Now you have to redo this whole video.

Dude.. that shirt and background.. what happened to you?
