Blocking out the drawing in straight lines The delineation of a curve is based upon the trueperception of its variation from the straight line. Thefaculty of ascertaining and expressing the amount andcharacter of the variation comes through practice. Thepupil may draw one curve, but he will not find it so easyto duplicate unless he has first defined the straight lineupon which to estimate the degree of curvature. A simple way of estimating curvature is to hold thepencil or a ruler between the eye and the object to bedrawn, so that it marks the beginning and the end ofthe deflection. The pupil should first point off spaces 67 Curves are estimated by their deflections from straight lines along the lines on ruled paper, and connect these dotsby curves just touching the line above. It is to be borne in mind that a curve or circleis made up of an infinite number of straight lines un-appreciable to the eye. But in drawing a curve theartist will simplify it by lengthening the straight linesa
