Practicallyit is also most unsatisfactory, as with each object the difficultiesincrease, and at last it becomes impossible to place the drawings. OUTLINE DRAWING. II where they belong. The only logical way is to draw the groupall at once, first considering it as a mass and blocking in its pro-portions by lines passing from the principal points, as in Fig. these lines have been drawnand considered, they may be testedby measuring the whole height andwidth, and the directions tested byuse of the thread or pencil; butthese lines must not follow at allclosely the short lines upon thecontour of the group. Their onlylegitimate purpose is to place thedrawing properly upon the paper,and to give the extreme points of fig. 7. Biocking-in Lines. the drawing. A good plan is, as soon as the proportions have been thus deter-mined, to draw horizontal and vertical lines to indicate the upper,lower, right and left points of the drawing, and to be careful that thedrawing is kept within these lines. The proportions of the wholegroup being thus determined as nearly as measurements can deter-mine, the objects may now be sketched by eye, the m
