Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual for Elementary Zoology
Io. Students who declare that they cannot draw will receive little sym pathy. Anyone can make the simple line drawings required in this work. To make a drawing proceed as follows. First determine how large it is to be and select a proper space on the page. Then rule this space with very light vertical and horizontal guide lines so that your drawing will be symmetrical. With a ruler further reduce or enlarge the length or width of the actual Object to fit the space selected. Then with very light lines make an outline of the object; then, constantly referring to the Object, correct this with light lines until the propor tions and details are as nearly like the Object as you can possibly get them. Then erase the light lines until you can barely see them, and go over them making the final lines firm and clear. Every line upon the drawing must represent a structure actually present on the Object. Avoid shading, color, crosshatch ing, etc.
