What is necessary to show both form and texture in a drawing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keep texture marks according to the surface and light
The governing concept is the integration of surface description with form modelling. Texture tells the viewer whether a surface is rough, smooth, fibrous, metallic, or otherwise patterned, while shading and value changes explain its volume. Texture marks must therefore follow the direction, curvature, and lighting of the form. If marks ignore the surface or remain equally strong everywhere, they look pasted on and can flatten the object. Option A is correct because it links texture marks with both surface structure and light. Option B is wrong because texture is affected by light; C is conceptually impossible, and D contributes no visual evidence of form or texture.
