Which line use will make a figure look flatter?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Only the outer contour, without inner directional lines
Using only an outer contour defines the outline but gives little indication of surface direction, depth, or three-dimensional volume. Therefore, the figure appears flatter. Inner surface lines and cross-contour lines suggest curvature and depth, so they do not produce the flattest effect. Exam tip: use mainly an outer contour for a flat appearance; add surface-direction lines to show volume.
