For example, a sphere, a cone, and a cylinder. Now you are ready to shade! Notice in the video how the arrows show the direction of light where the light hits the object. Remember where ever the light hits the object that is where the lightest shade is going to be. Where the light doesn't hit the object is where the darker shades are going to be.
