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.
