How can texture be shown with lines?

Correct answer: By repeated marks

Direct answer: A, by repeated marks. Lines can suggest texture when an artist repeats, varies, or groups them in a planned way. Short marks, curved marks, parallel strokes, broken strokes, or crossing strokes can make a surface look rough, soft, hairy, wooden, woven, or otherwise different, even though the paper remains flat. The repeated marks give the eye information about the imagined surface. A is correct because repetition is a basic way to build a visual surface effect with lines. B is incorrect because hiding the paper removes the drawing area rather than showing texture. C is incorrect because removing a frame does not create a surface pattern. D is incorrect because writing a question communicates words, not necessarily texture. Memory cue: repeated marks imitate repeated surface details; do not confuse visual texture with actual raised texture.
