To add a shadow in Illustrator, follow these steps: 1. Select the object or text you want to add a shadow to. 2. In the top menu, go to "Effect" > "Stylize" > "Drop Shadow." 3. In the Drop Shadow dialog box, adjust the settings to your liking. You can change the opacity, angle, distance, and size of the shadow. You can also choose the color of the shadow by clicking on the color swatch. 4. Preview your shadow by clicking "OK" in the dialog box. If you need to make any further adjustments, you can do so by double-clicking on the effect in the "Appearance" panel and making changes in the dialog box. 5. Once you are satisfied with the shadow, you can apply it to multiple objects by selecting all the objects and clicking "New Graphic Style" in the "Graphic Styles" panel. That's it! You've successfully added a shadow to your object or text in Illustrator.
