Drawing in charcoal and crayon for the use of students and schools

by Frank Fowler

PLATE VIII.

This plate represents a study of the male figure taken directly from life, and is a most carefully finished drawing in every respect. Fig. A. shows the manner of beginning such a figure; the outline is sketched in with long, sweeping lines at first, to determine the direction of the pose; the proportions are noted and the outline corrected, though drawn in angles, the general masses of shadow being blocked in as usual.

In Fig. B. the crayon and stump are taken up and the drawing is carefully carried on as shown by the plate, until completed.

The End.
