noob question here. 
ive been reading here use a character for shadows that follow player. WHY? I want to make shadow under playuer but was just going to draw it INSIDE the art of the sprite.
???so why do some make a character just for shadows and make it follow? Whats the advantage?
Sorry if its a stupid question
