Where can contact shadow appear darkest?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Where the object touches the surface
The governing concept is occlusion and reduced reflected light. At the narrow area where an object meets the supporting surface, direct and reflected light are blocked more strongly, so the contact shadow can appear darkest and most concentrated. It usually softens and spreads as it moves away from the point of contact, depending on the light source and the surface. Therefore option A is correct. A highlight is a bright region, the area outside the paper cannot be part of the drawn object’s contact shadow, and the title has no physical relation to the object’s support.
