If weight is desired at the perimeter of an increase-layered form, sculpt the perimeter design line in which condition?

• A. Natural Fall
• B. Normal Projection
• C. Increasing Lengths
• D. Decreasing Lengths

Answer: (A)

Weight at the outer edge is best kept by letting the perimeter follow its natural hang. When you sculpt the perimeter design line in natural fall, you’re not pushing the edge forward or changing its direction, so the outer edge retains its bulk. In an increase-layered form, the inner layers are shorter and the outer edge carries more length, which naturally places weight at the perimeter if you don’t project or re-angle the line. Forcing projection or altering the line would shift how the edge sits and can lessen that perimeter weight. So, to achieve weight at the perimeter, shape the perimeter in natural fall.
