If texture of an object is correct but seems independent of light direction what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Texture and light logic are inconsistent
The appearance of texture should respond to the direction of light. Textures on illuminated areas generally look clearer or brighter, while those in shadow appear darker or less visible. If the texture looks the same regardless of light direction, the texture and light logic are inconsistent. Proportion, compositional balance, and colour saturation are separate visual concerns. Exam tip: identify the light source first, then show texture through appropriate light and shadow values.
