A pen line drawn along a straight edge or put in with a compass or the ruling pen, has a very different look to one drawn by free-hand, and so is likely to show up with too great prominence among lines the rest of which are drawn by hand. Not only is this easy after a little practice, and also a great saver of time, but, in the case of a pen drawing, for example, it is often a necessity. It is quite necessary that the artist should practice straight and curved lines, instead of depending upon a rule to draw them correctly. It is best to get the shapes with a fairly hard pencil, say HH, and finish with HB. When you are satisfied that the form is correct, go lightly over the paper with the rubber, so as to reduce the pencil marks to as faint a tone as possible, and then outline your drawing with a sharp-pointed pencil. If there is anything wrong with the first drawing, it can then be corrected without erasing, simply by drawing. In such practice, no rules or instruments should be used, and the first lines should be made very light on the paper. In Plate i are shown plain lines of simple form (straight, curved, etc.) forįree-hand study.
