Today, after spending at least 4 hours drawing a realistic shadow of a vampire for a picture contest, I finally remembered that vampires aren't supposed to produce shadows. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was good fun getting a nice vampire make-up at my drama lesson. It would've been better if I hadn't forgotten my Demak'up. Even better if I could've avoided the crazy glances in the bus home. FML
Today, I was repainting the walls in my room. While painting, I noticed a dark spot on the wall that wouldn't seem to go away no matter how much paint I put on it. A bucket of paint and hours later, I realized that "dark spot" was a shadow. FML
Today, I spent a long time steam-cleaning a mystery stain on my living room carpet. I turned the light on to get a better look at it, and realized that it was a shadow. FML
Today, while I was showering, a dark object in the shower kept startling me. After about the fourth time jumping, I realized it was my shadow that was scaring me. I am actually literally afraid of my own shadow. FML
Today, I was in art class in which we were drawing mythical creatures. I spent the entire hour and a half drawing a Minotaur, which turned out extremely well. It turned out so well that the teacher thought I had traced it, and told me to start over right before the bell rang. FML
Today, I realized that our generation will be remembered as the kids who liked sparkly vampires. FML
Today, I was literally startled by my own shadow. I hate having anxiety. FML
Today, I showed my friends the picture I drew picturing the four of us in a 'zombie apocalypse' setting. Turns out they never saw me as their friend, and I'm creeping them out. FML
Today, I had just finished an elaborate charcoal drawing as part of a college application that took a good week. When I read over the requirements, I found out it needed to be done in graphite pencil. FML
Today, I lost an art contest to some talentless arsepipe whose piece was literally just a broken heart crudely drawn in her own blood. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Thought that was reflections in a mirror. But this is myth so go crazy. Who can argue against your vamp casting a shadow

They aren't supposed to sparkle in sunlight, either, but here we are. *walks off to 'Without Me' by Eminem*

Spin a story around it. Like “who is that I’m seeing?”

There’s so many different stories about vampires, who’s to say some don’t have shadows

Another fun fact about vampires: They don't exist. If you insist your art be literally true, not only would there not be a shadow, but there wouldn't be a ******* vampire, either! You'd just have a landscape. Your gaffe won't matter unless you get to the finals against a picture of a Sasquatch with a tail.

Watch ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’, his shadow chokes Keanu Reeves’ character toward the beginning. I also think the vampire in that one Bugs Bunny Transylvania episode casts a shadow. I think you must be thinking of reflections. Vampires don’t see their reflection in mirrors.

And in Mel Brooks’ Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Dracula’s shadow humps Mina’s shadow. So they definitely have shadows in lore.

How does it take hours to draw a shadow?

No, they don’t create reflections. Shadows from non sunlight, like firelight or electrical light do create shadows. Sunlight would normally just kablooey them.

Why does a shape even take four hours to draw? Unless it’s on some massive piece, it’s just the shape and shading. Sounds like you’re overworking your piece either way.
