A good-looking drop shadow in Sketch
Creating a good-looking drop shadow in Sketch could be challenging. This short tutorial is going to show you how to make it.
Mastering drop shadows in Sketch
What I am intending to do is to make a nice shadow for a CTA button. What happens if we use a standard shadow option for an object in Sketch? We probably get something like in the picture below.
The result is not that bad but we would like to have something even more sweet. We need to use one nice hack to get a better result. The goal is to have only a gentle shadow below the object and a little bit on its sides as the button below is having.
How to get a gentle drop shadow
The trick is pretty simple. What we need to do is to create two buttons (two layers). The one on the top without a shadow and the one underneath with a shadow. The important thing is that the button with the shadow is smaller than the top one.
I have added an orange shadow (opacity 0.5) to make the result even more appealing. That's my trick how to cope with drop shadows.
