INSTRUCTIONS
In drawing from this book, copy the last diagram, or finished picture, of the particular series before you.
The other diagrams—beginning with number one, then number two, and so on—show how to go on with your drawing. They give the order in which to make the various strokes of the pencil that together form the completed picture. The dotted lines indicate where light lines are drawn that help in construction—that is; getting proportions correctly, outlining the general form, or marking details in their proper places. Do not press hard on the pencil in making these construction lines, then they can be erased afterwards.
Use pencil compasses for the circles, or mark them off with buttons or disks.
