If an object is far away, how should its line generally be kept?

Correct answer: Light and less clear

Correct answer: A, light and less clear. In a drawing, line strength can help communicate distance. Objects in the foreground are usually shown with clearer, stronger, or somewhat darker lines, while distant objects are often drawn with lighter, thinner, or less definite lines. This difference helps the viewer separate front, middle, and background areas. A is correct because reducing line intensity makes the distant object recede visually instead of competing with the main subject. B is wrong because a very thick, dark line attracts attention and generally makes an object feel closer. C is wrong because using exactly the same line strength removes an important difference between foreground and background. D is wrong because a heavy black boundary usually increases emphasis rather than suggesting distance. This is a general drawing convention, not an absolute rule for every artistic style. Memory cue: strong lines come forward; soft lines move back.
