    Cast shadows can be constructed from a single light source like the sun or a lamp. When rendering volumetric shapes, determine the light source and direction first, which is often from the top left and slightly from the front. Sunlight can be viewed as parallel lines due to the distance to the sun, while a single light source has diverging rays. Understanding light principles like these, in addition to observation, will help render shadows naturally.
