shadow on animal

Hey @hendy_5450 

Hope you are doing good !

The easiest way to create a realistic shadow for the donkey is:

1) Duplicate the donkey layer: Place it below the original.

2) Convert to Black Silhouette: Use hue/saturation (reduce lightness) or Fill with Black.

3) Blur the shadow: Apply Gaussian Blur for softness.

4) Distort for Perspective: Use transform > Distort/skew to align with the ground.

5) Adjust Opacity: Lower Opacity and use multiply blend mode for realism.

This keeps the shadow natural and integrated into the scene.

Thankyou!

It needs two things, a shadow on the donkey to try and match the scene lighting, and a shadow from the donkey on the ground again to match the shadows in the scene.

Add a new layer above the layer on which the shadow will fall and clip it to that layer. That way, for example, the shadow on the donkey will not fall elswhere. Set that new layer to multiply blend mode. Paint in the shadow on that layer with a soft brush with it's opacity set to around 30% and colour set to black.
Repeat for the shadows on the ground, remembering that the darkest shadow is closest to the donkey's feet and it will fade as it gets further away.
