A very good teacher . I had many life drawing classes with Karl in the 90s. He was a very influential teacher with a wide range of knowledge about art , anatomy, film and life.

Thank you

[@stephenburrows4250]

Is there a rule of thumb that might be applied for the length of a shadow? I can see the logic of angle being applied, particularly when the cast shadow is short - but what about longer ones?

[@canobenitez]

take a lamp and illuminate an egg and check it yourself, if you get it closer, the cast shadow will be larger

[@alandawson7957]

The area from the core shadow-right next to it - going towards the light source,is that sometimes called dark halftone?

[@makaylaa.greerr]

Will this live video still be on your channel to watch later if I wanted to? I'm waiting to watch it now but I mean like later if my life time I still need help, can I go to your channel and find it?

Can my "light and tone" knowledge depend upon this 30 minute video?

[@NewMastersAcademyorgNMA]

Kurt Lara no, this is a sample from our foundational training library where we have thousands of hours of instruction.
