How to draw a paintbrush ?   Step 5

Dropped shadow

Here is an example of what you should have: 

We need to select all the objects we created (body, metallic part and head) and group them ("Dispose Menu" -> "Group").
Then we duplicate the group ("Edit Menu" -> "Duplicate").
 
Select the duplicated group and open the floating filling up toolbox.
Select a gray and apply it.
For the outline, open the Floating lines toolbox and indicate you don't want any outline (don't care if the option is still activated, just click apply it will work !).
Now we can distort the shadow.
Enlarge it a bit from a side (see How to select and manipulate objects ?).
Resize it to  simulate that the shadow is plane and place as shown above :

You have finished.

The next step shows you how to transform your image into the bitmap format, keeping the quality of course.
