SHINE A LITTLE LIGHT

Choose a small item. Really anything will work (an action figure, a spool of thread, an apple).

USING A FLASHLIGHT

Use a flashlight as your light source. Hold it at different angles and heights and watch what happens to the shadow your object casts. This will help you understand where to shade in a shadow. Also pay attention to the object itself. The light will alter the way the object is shaded. Sketch this object twice, moving your light source the second time.
