Scorers judge the photo, not the original.
Avoid distortion
- Shoot square-on to avoid keystone distortion 梯形畸变 — a tilted camera makes a rectangle into a trapezoid.
- Check values on screen: a washed-out photo erases the light-and-shade skill you built.
- A detail shot 细节图 is allowed and powerful — a close-up proves what a full view only suggests.
Select all good photography practices.

Each ruins the photo differently.
A phone photo taken at an angle in yellow lamplight quietly downgrades every drawing — glare hides the darks, keystone bends the rectangle, warm cast kills the value range. Shoot square-on in neutral light, every time.
Same drawing, two photos: (a) square-on, north-window light, cropped to the edges, values checked — a clean 5-level shot; (b) handheld at 30°, desk lamp, half the paper in frame — the drawing now looks amateur. Nothing changed but the photo.
Scorers judge photographs: shoot square-on in even light (no glare, no keystone), fill and crop the frame, check values on screen, add detail shots, and photograph each work as you finish it.
