What is the main problem in shading if the light source is uncertain?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The pattern of light and shadow will become confusing
Shading is governed by the direction, height, and relative strength of the light source. Once that source is chosen, surfaces facing it receive more light, turning surfaces receive intermediate values, and surfaces turned away become darker; the cast shadow also falls in a consistent direction. If the source is uncertain, highlights, halftones, core shadows, and cast shadows may contradict one another. The object can then appear flat, physically impossible, or lit by several conflicting sources. Option D is correct because it identifies the confusion in the arrangement of light and shadow. A, B, and C do not describe any consequence of an uncertain light direction.
