Getting the shadow to show up realistically was a tad tricky… where the results tend to defer a bit depending on the opacity of the layer below. 

So I played with two slightly different versions to explore on the fly; I’m sure Tracey can spot the slight differences in Fx, blendmodes and opacity :)

(p.s. Am not sure if it is just me, but I feel those controls on the Affinity D fx dials for ipad need some serious improvement. I find them maddeningly ‘slippery’…. )

Thank you for class, Tracey! I am looking forward to each one.
