Everyone always wants to know about shadows as this is one area where we all want to improve all the time. There are lots of tutorials out that show you how to create great shadows, and one of my favorite tutorials ever is Megan Turnidge’s “Shadows in Photoshop CS4” tutorial on her blog. It comes with free downloadable styles that I installed in my PS and ever since then, my shadowing has improved a lot. Of course, her shadows only serve as a guideline for me now, and I always adjust them a little to fit my layout, but they serve as a great starting point, though they come in a rather unusual angle (-44°). However, I started using this angle and love it altogether!

Check out Megan’s tutorial, and don’t forget to leave her some love!
