Shading and Lighting

Terms artists use to represent the illusion of making a 2D drawing appear to have depth.

"When I drew this sphere, the light source was at the top right corner so I shaded the opposite end because the light wasn't hitting it, and highlighted the end closest to the light source because the light was hitting it dead on." Mrs.Woods explained to the class. "This is called Shading and Lighting."

shot out of the tip of a lighting bolt

a vivid, metaphorical way to describe something happening with great speed, force, or intensity. It conjures the image of a lightning bolt—a natural phenomenon known for its sudden, powerful, and swift strike—emphasizing the speed, impact, or suddenness of the action being described. This expression is widely known to have originated from ice bath enthusiast and health guru Duncan Bernath.

It is often used to dramatize how quickly or forcefully something occurs, likening it to the speed and power of lightning.

"After this 5 minute ice bath, it feels like I just got shot out of the tip of a lightning bolt"
"Dude, I know!! Such a good, flames, feeling!"
