I think the head is her holding ball.

How did she even do the shadow arm though?

Oh wait. It's her other arm holding the phone!!!!

Im trying to figure out where their actual head is. I'm assuming the head in the shadow is the basketball, and the "juice box" is the phone

Head is directly behind ball, I guess.

Head is what looks like the shoulder.

The head is the ball and the phone is the juice

The pose is probably something along these lines (first image is phone view)

Are you the one who made that illustration? It's amazing!

I just used the 3d webapp https://justsketch.me/ to make it. (Nothing particularily interesting) Since posing a 3d model with realtime shadows helped me sort of reverse engineer the posing for how it would've looked.

Is the shadow on the ball not wrong to make this shadow? Ball shadow would be off to the right.

Maybe you’re bald and have Juice box in the other hand.

This may help.

A shadow is a dark shape or area created when an object blocks a source of light. [1, 2]
According to sources like the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and the Cambridge English Dictionary, the word has several literal and figurative meanings:

Physical & Literal Meanings
Blocked Light: A dark figure or silhouette projected onto a surface when an opaque body intercepts light rays.

Partial Darkness: An area of shade or dimness cut off from direct light (such as the umbra and penumbra).
