What is the main difference between showing texture and tone with line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Texture shows surface feel, tone shows value of light and dark
The governing concept is the different visual information carried by line. Texture describes how a surface appears to feel—rough, smooth, furry, grainy, or cracked—so the marks imitate or suggest a material quality. Tone, or value, describes the relative lightness and darkness of an area. Closely spaced, layered, or darker lines can build a darker tone even when they do not represent a particular surface. Thus option A correctly separates surface character from light-and-dark value. B is wrong because the purposes differ; C confuses tone with smell; and D gives texture an unrelated economic meaning.
