How can the heaviness of an object be shown through line?

By making strong thick lines downward

In drawing, a line is not only an outline; its thickness, direction, and strength can also communicate an idea. When an artist wants an object to appear heavy, strong, dark, and thick lines are useful. Lines moving downward can suggest pressure, support, or the force of weight pressing toward the ground. This makes the object feel visually solid and stable.

Therefore, option A is correct because strong thick downward lines communicate heaviness more effectively than weak dotted lines. Light dotted lines usually suggest delicacy, distance, or softness, while removing lines gives no visual information about weight. Making lines flower-like changes their decoration, not their sense of mass. The important art idea is line weight: a heavier-looking line can create a heavier-looking form.
