1 DRAWING ESSENTIALS with Phil Davies Light Basics Quiz Understanding a bit of theory about how light and shadow behave can really help you on your journey to better drawings. The emphasis here is on a bit! When it comes to light logic, a lot of terminology is thrown around by some classically trained artists and, before you ever get chance to put pencil to paper, you can get lost in a sea of pointless labels and abstract terms. So this short quiz is designed to reinforce a few key pointers that are useful to you as an artist and hopefully it s a bit of fun too! Ready? Then you may begin ArtTutor.com

2 Question 1: What is the terminator line or shadow line? A) The line just before lightest part of an object lit by a single light source B) The line that separates the bottom of an object and the surface it sits on C) The line on an object that separates where the light can reach, and where it can t D) The line around the centre of a sphere E) I ll be back Question 2: What is the form shadow? A) The shadow cast by an object on to a surface that it blocks from the light source B) The shadow side of an object where the light cannot reach C) The shadow that has performed best in recent weeks D) The darkest shadow or part of a shadow in an image E) A shadow cast by a single light source Question 3: What is a cast shadow? A) The shadow side of an object where the light cannot reach B) The shadow made by an object on to a surface that it blocks from the light source C) The long shadows made by a low sun D) The darkest part of a shadow on an object E) A shadow chosen after an excellent round of auditions Question 4: Name the two great camps and

3 Question 5: Draw an outline around the form shadows in the following images

4 Question 6: Draw an outline around the cast shadows in the following images

5 Question 7: Draw in the cast shadows on the following objects

6 Question 8: If light can t bend around corners, why are shadows not always completely black? A) Because some light bounces off surfaces in the environment and back into shadow areas B) Because Schrödinger s cat said so C) Because they just are ok. And I want to draw now. No more physics! Question 9: Draw an outline around the areas of reflected light on the following images
