When sculpting a design with increased layers in the exterior, the resulting form is generally:

• A. Shorter
• B. Angular
• C. Rectilinear
• D. Elongated

Answer: (D)

Adding more layers on the exterior of a sculpt shapes the outer edges with lighter, textured ends, which pushes the silhouette outward and lengthens the overall form. Exterior layers create movement and projection that read as elongation, rather than a compact, shorter shape. A shorter form would come from keeping bulk or removing exterior texture, while angular or rectilinear results come from sharp, defined edges rather than soft, layered ends. So, the resulting form is elongated.
