What happens if wood grains do not match direction of the object's form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both the material and the form will appear unnatural
Wood grain shows the natural texture and fibre direction of wood. In a drawing, the grain should follow the object's length, curves, and changes of surface. If it runs in an unrelated direction, the texture looks pasted on and both the material and form appear unnatural. A change in grain direction alone does not make a surface smoother. Exam tip: draw texture lines in the direction of the surface and its curves.
