The drop shadow shouldn't appear on the background, and it needs to be blurred. The sides of the cube should have different values of shading unless you're implying it's lit from inside.

author says:

Ok CMYK46 thanks I'll get on it but why when I put something on my desk and the light from above comes down it shows same shadow on front as the side. are you saying a shadow on front should be less than side?

Any cube that's normally lit will show 3 sides, as you have. Depending on the light source, each side would have a different value.

author says:

Ok! The way this cube is the shadow couldn't be like kcinsti is showing because only front add right side and top show. And his cube shows shadow on box and not under box on bottom? And if a light was shining from above why would his sample show the top and left side on box its self shadowed? Am I wrong?

Author here's an example of what CMYK46 is talking about.

author says:

kcinst Thanks for sample but I am confused as the way shadow is shown on the box you showed if light source was from above?

CMYK46 says:

Author, the example was just given to show how the values of the 3 sides would differ. The lighting is up to you. In your entry, the top would be lightest, and the front face (w/ Vader head) the darkest. The contrast doesn't need to be as dramatic as in the example, but it needs to be there.

author says:

Ok Thanks I will try that but totally different from way I thought shadow would have been. I may screw it up worse.

CMYK46 says:

The top should be lightest. It's not. The front face with the Vader head should be darkest. It's not.

kcinsti says:

Author a handy thing to remember in these situations is to be guided by the light of the source image; in this case the light is from top left, so the front and top faces of the cube should be brightest.

I think you'd be better of not putting a second vader head on the front face because it confuses the eye.
