On this page I post some technical drawings showing how to construct inner and drop shadows, of simple and compound solids.
These shadows are generated from a point of light “infinitely” far away (which would be the light of the Sun), so the rays projecting the shadows are parallel to each other.
In each example, the object is shown in front view, top view and cylindrical perspective (axonometric or isometric perspective).
