Best Beginners Guide to Learn The Core Shadow Technique

So see, This is pure gradient of dark to light and It indicates that this is a cylindrical object.

I am just darkening this area & It will create a bounce light effect on the left side & the darkened area is called as core shadow in technical language.

 Make a gradient in two directions. Midde of the gradient dark and both sides fading away.

Now you can clearly see the bounce light effect and it is looking better than the previous one.

As light from the surrounding is falling on the other side of the cylinder it looks little lighter than the middle shade.

As here it comes near the dark shadow this side of bounce light will be little darker than upper area.

So, This the way you can create a core shadow to make things looks interesting.
