"Shade" typically refers to an area sheltered from direct sunlight (or the degree of darkness there) and can also be used as a verb meaning to screen or shelter. "Shading" is the act or technique of creating gradual transitions between light and dark—used in drawing, painting, and computer graphics to represent form and depth. A "shadow" is the actual dark shape or silhouette cast on a surface when an object blocks a light source. In short, shade is a sheltered area, a shadow is the cast darkness created by blocking light, and shading is the intentional rendering of light and dark to depict or imitate shadows and volume.
