Gimp is a bitmap raster editor not vector, so no 'objects' but you can draw in a path outline and use that as a base for painting, building up in layers.

The shadow is the one 'effect' that comes with Gimp. This using Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Long Shadowand settings as shown.



As this example a Gimp xcf file attached with layers and path to show the build up. All very hands-on

Thanks a lot, very helpful
