Using gradients to cast shadows

In this movie, I'll show you how to…take our expanded radial gradients and turn them…into more credible cache shadows, as in the…case of this final version of the artwork.…Alright, so here's my illustration in progress.…I'm going to twirl open the mesh shadows layer, and I'm going to unlock…the left hand shadow, so that I can gain access to both of them.…And I'll go ahead and meatball and shift meatball the two meshes.…Just because that's the easier way to work.…It's very difficult to marquee the two objects.…Now, the first thing I want to do, I'll go ahead and zoom in…here, is change the color, because I…don't think this brownish color quite makes sense.…

And I can do that to both of the objects at the…same time by modifying the HSB values here inside the color panel.…So I'll change the hue value to 15…degrees, which makes the shadows a little more yellow.…If we go any farther than that, then they start looking kind of greenish…by contrast to the very red highly saturated peppers.…Then I'll take the saturation value down to…
