If highlight does not follow the form of surface what weakness appears?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The curvature or direction of the form will look unconvincing
A highlight appears on the part of a surface that faces the light most directly. Its shape must therefore follow the curvature and direction of that surface. If it does not, the object’s volume and direction look incorrect or unconvincing. Hue and paper thickness are unrelated to this problem. Exam tip: do not treat a highlight as just a white patch; use its direction to judge the surface form.
