In artistic or drawing terms Shade or shading is the process of adding layers of pigmentation, in order to create the appearance of three dimensions. Shadow is he darkened area cast on the ground or background by the figure in the drawing. 


Shade and shadow refer to the same area of comparative darkness caused by an object blocking the sun or other source of light. The difference is in the use object blocking the sun or other source of light. The difference is in the use of the terms; We talk of 'shade' when we are talking of the area of darkness in reference to the source of light (sun etc) eg. We sit or walk in the shade. 
'Shadow' on the other hand is used when we are talking of the area of darkness relative to or in reference to the object blocking the source of light. Shadow therefore refers to a shape cast by an object that blocks the sun or other source of light.eg. shadow of a tree.
