Which option shows an observation error in form drawing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Making the light side dark and the shadow side bright without reason
The governing concept is observation-based value modelling: light, middle tone, and shadow should correspond to the actual direction and strength of illumination. If the light-facing side is made dark and the shadow-facing side is made bright without a reflected-light or design reason, the tonal structure contradicts the observed form. This weakens the illusion of volume and is therefore the observation error in option A. Option B follows correct practice, because shading is guided by the light source. Option C establishes the object’s structure, and option D helps anchor it on the surface. A deliberate artistic reversal can exist, but it must be intentional and visually supported.
