1. Designing the Shadows

Workflow: building the shadow in layers

  1. Place the subject: Position P Cracked on your background layer. Make a clean cutout if needed and add a subtle layer mask to blend edges.
  2. Create a base shadow layer:
    • Add a new layer below the subject.
    • Use a soft round brush or a blurred overlay from Shadowify 2 with low opacity (30–50%).
    • Paint directly beneath the contact points with a relatively small, soft brush to create the darkest shadow areas.
    • Multiply or Linear Burn blending mode works well to sink the shadow into the background.
  3. Add directional cast shadow:
    • Duplicate the silhouette of P Cracked (or paint an approximate shape) onto a new layer.
    • Transform (skew/perspective) it to match light direction; this becomes the cast shadow.
    • Apply Gaussian Blur progressively — less blur near contact points, more blur outward. Shadowify 2’s graduated blur overlays make this faster and more realistic.
    • Lower opacity (20–60%) until it reads naturally against the background.
  4. Soften with edge variation:
    • Real shadows aren’t uniformly soft. Use Shadowify 2’s variable-edge brush or erase with a textured, low-opacity brush to introduce irregular edges and thinner wisps.
    • Add tiny, sharper fragments near cracks and gaps where light slips through.
  5. Ambient occlusion and crack shadows:
    • Create a multiply layer with very subtle, dark paint inside crevices and under lifted flakes of P Cracked.
    • Blend at low opacity (10–30%) and use high blur for deep occlusion or low blur for crisp crevice lines.
  6. Color and light bleed:
    • Shadows pick up ambient color. Add a low-opacity color layer clipped to the shadow (use Overlay or Color blend mode at 5–15%) to match scene temperature — warm on sunlit scenes, cool on overcast scenes.
    • For colored surfaces, introduce slight color spill on the shadow edge opposite the light source.
  7. Final unify pass:
    • Group shadow layers and add a single, subtle global blur or noise to harmonize them with the background grain.
    • Adjust overall group opacity to balance shadow intensity with scene contrast.
    • Use a very light dodge on the brightest parts of the subject’s edge where light grazes — this increases separation and realism.
