Hi community!
Can someone please tell me how to attach my image? I see the options "album" and "cancel". When i click on album it's empty. I don't know how to get any images in the album.

There should be the option "my device" too 🤔

I haven't watched the demo yet, but I feel this turned out okay-ish. However, now that I’m seeing it, I feel the darkest value in the apple is wrong. I also found it hard to draw the cast shadows for some reason. Criticism is welcome

This is a bit technical, but since you said you struggled with the cast shadows hopefully it helps. The cast shadow is made up of two basic parts, the umbra and the penumbra. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow. The penumbra is outside of the umbra and receives a bit of light creating a falloff effect.
When the light source is very close, the penumbra shrinks, making the cast shadow very crisp. It becomes just a tiny crescent around the umbra. When the light source is far away, the penumbra grows and makes a soft edge that is lighter in value.
The closer the light source is to the object, the more blown out the values will be (less midtones and more lightest and darkest values).
