Which mistake can increase in observational drawing if negative space is read incorrectly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The object's outline and proportion may become wrong
Negative space is the shape of the areas surrounding and separating the subject. In observational drawing, comparing those empty shapes helps the artist judge angles, width, height, and proportion. If they are misread, the outline and overall proportions can drift even when individual marks seem careful. Negative space cannot make colour brighter, alter paper thickness, or prevent every line from being drawn. Thus A is correct.
