Shadows are essential for quality retouching. Whether your subject needs seated properly, or it needs to be modular, and/or have transparency, drop shadow filters and basic shape blurs just won't do. 

Light hits an object from many angles, and as such, objects block light from those angles. Quality hand painted shadows are multi-layered to simulate natural light. From grounding seams to ambient spreads, and even color splashes. each subject gets its own special treatment.

Shadows for Top-down photography, are key for realistic grounding. Especially in Flat Lay or Knolling layouts. With light coming from above, and all around, the shadows can be cast surrounding the subject. Multiple layers of shading, each with increasing levels of fall off, make for a nicely blended shadow.
