Why are very light initial lines made?

Correct answer: To make corrections easier

Correct answer: A, to make corrections easier. Initial lines are guide lines used while the artist is deciding the size, proportion, placement, and shape of the subject. Drawing them lightly means that an incorrect guide can be erased or changed with less risk of leaving a strong unwanted mark. After the form is checked, the important final outline may be strengthened. Option A is correct because light pressure keeps the early drawing flexible. Option B is wrong because line pressure does not make the paper physically thicker. Option C is wrong because a frame’s shine depends on its material and finish, not on light sketch lines. Option D is wrong because the price or appearance of colour has no connection with the darkness of construction lines. Light does not mean invisible; it means faint enough to revise. Memory cue: light first, check the form, then darken the final line.
