Cast shadow

[Silenzio]

This one shouldn't be too hard, but I really can't figure it out.

I want to make a cast shadow towards bottom right where the bottom of the object isn't flat. I know how to do simple shadows, but not this.


Example pic:

(It's rather dark I know; just an example.)

I can't get the feet right in the shadow.
Any tips?

Just to be clear, this is what I want to do:



The difference is that I want a shadow in the opposite direction.

Use global light until the shadow falls where you need it....Drop Shadow?

you take the shape outline, then transform it to get what you have in your example

you can see the different types of transform at the edit tab

I messed around with a bit of everything and drew parts of it by hand. Thanks anyways .

Would be nice to see your end result.

Hello,
I to want learn about cast shadows. I'm working with Photoshop 6.0 NOT ESSENTIALS the full Photoshop I've tried to follow the information offered on several How to sites and managed to get a solid black shadow. However the shadow was always in front of the object. Not behind the object. I tried the arrange button to send to back but was unsuccessful. I also tried the Drop Shadow that's built into P S This was hopeless. Can anyone save me with straight simple step by step on how to create a cast shadow.
Thank you
