I think an important step to making realistic shadows is understanding how shadows work. Looking up a diagram of soft penumbra can help. Though it definitely differs depending on the type of light source, the general idea is that the penumbra gets larger as the gap between the object and the shadowed surface gets larger, and so the shadow edge gets less sharp as you go out further. It also helps to think about the inverse square law in lighting, where a close by (idealized) light source will cause a faster fall off of shadow intensity, whereas with a further away light source like the sun this will be more subtle. Then you add in final checks for "should any light be bouncing to here" and "do I need to remove these highlights", etc.

Shadows are for sure the most important thing for photo manipulation

Awesome tutorial. Even being a senior designer I learnt many things from it.
Can you please do a quick one on the highlights too? I loved the way you add outline to the objects which contributes alot in to the realism of the scene. Pretty sure many artists would love to learn that,

Beautiful, beautiful. You have been using this technique for a long time, in videos, the process being on speed, not noticing each step, not even in slow motion.

Your technique of painting it is pretty good, but you're missing one crucial thing in your shadows, and this applies to all of your work. Shadows not only change the brightness of the colors, but they also shift in hue. So instead of just turning the shadows darker, the shadow color also shifts in hue as darker as it gets towards the environental hue. If you're only using black/grey shadows the image looks muddy. If you add some color to your shadows it makes it look much more convincing. You should watch some digital painting tutorials to learn more about it, it's a game changer and you'll immediately improve all your art
