1. "RE: A Mask In India"
hello I wouldnt be bothered by shadows because you can give hint of volume and shadows also with line, and India has great art from the past and it is especialy strong in linear work, I think you can learn alot from your own tradition it is the proper place for start, I would look all those beatiful miniature portraits of rajas and gods and try to look how they solved volume and shading and later how they used color best regards z
