If a sphere has correct highlight but no middle values in shadow how will the form appear?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The form transition will look harsh and less natural
On a curved form such as a sphere, values should shift gradually from the highlight into shadow. Without middle values in the shadow, the change from light to dark becomes abrupt, making the form look harsh, flat, or less natural. Missing middle values does not by itself change transparency or colour temperature. Exam tip: identify the sequence of highlight, middle values, core shadow, and reflected light on a sphere.
