I love the attention to detail and the artistry of this feature, but ironically it actually backfires on me. The shadow being there mainly raises my awareness that the physical pencil isn't actually the right shape. The shadow isn't visible enough to let me quickly grok my pen's orientation either, and it being directly underneath the pen (as though the light source is right above me) makes it very hard for me to see. I like to position my eyes right above where I'm drawing and it helps me be a lot more accurate, but that's the worst position for viewing this shadow.
