Which option shows correct use of shading in creating form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Making light side lighter and shadow side darker
The governing concept is that shading creates the illusion of volume by showing how light falls on a form. If the light source is identified, the illuminated side is generally lighter, while the turning or shadow side is darker; a cast shadow is placed away from the light source. Option A is correct because this tonal relationship makes a form appear rounded and solid. A single tone removes the evidence of light, option C reverses the normal shadow direction, and option D confuses a highlight, which is usually among the lightest areas, with the darkest tone.
