🖤 Add Depth: How to Use Shadows Right
Want your designs in Studio to look more realistic and 3D? Use shadows not just for effect — but as a creative tool!
💡 1. Where to find Shadows
Open the layer you want → choose the Shadow property → activate it.
🎨 2. Adjust color and opacity
— Black = classic shadow
— Gray = soft, realistic feel
— Colored = creative touch, great for neon looks
Control opacity to let the fabric texture show through.
✍️ 3. Layers & direction
— Add shadows on waist or hip layers to separate garment parts
— Shadow at the bottom of a dress = sense of weight and fabric
— Keep a consistent light direction across the whole outfit — it brings harmony.
📐 4. Combine with Highlights & Brushes
— Light from above = shadow below
— Use shadow + highlight on the same detail to make it pop
📌 Tips:
— Don’t make all shadows identical
— Look at real fashion photos — where do shadows naturally fall?
