What artistic result comes from changing pressure in line?

Correct answer: Change in tone and expression

Correct answer: A, change in tone and expression. When an artist presses lightly, the line usually appears pale, thin, and delicate. When the artist presses more firmly, the line becomes darker, thicker, or stronger. This difference is called variation in line weight or line quality. It can show distance, emphasis, movement, mood, and the character of a material. Therefore, pressure changes not the paper or the medium, but the visible quality and expressive power of the line. A is correct because tone means lightness or darkness, and expression means the feeling or energy communicated. B is wrong because pressure does not change the physical weight of paper. C is wrong because a subject is erased by rubbing or removing marks, not simply by varying pressure. D is wrong because the medium remains present even when the mark is faint. Memory cue: light pressure gives a gentle mark; strong pressure gives a bold mark.
