Broken lines, which are irregular lines to represent irregularsurfaces. They may be as variable as the surfaces which theyrepresent. Every drawing sJioidd he represented triflt a variety of line —ivith lines varying from ligltf to black, from fne gray to hroad full range of the pencil should be Fig. 12 is a bridge drawn with the top on a level with theeye. All the different kinds of lines are represented in this draw-ins. In oreneral, the under lines are heavy and l)lack, and the toplines light. Observe how the different surfaces are suggested, thevariety of line, and how the material of which the bridge is com-posed is suggested by the kind of line. AUGSBURGS DRAWING. 65 DRILL EXERCISES. 1. Draw Fig. 12. 2. Draw Fig. 12 with the center of vision at X. 3. Draw Fig. 12 with the center of vision at O. The direction of a line is of more A^ahie than its quality. Ifthe direction is wrong, the line is wrong, no matter how nicely itmay be drawn. The direction of the line xii<igefitfi the direction of the surface;the hind of line, the qucdity of the surface. For example, a verticalline suggests a vertical surface; a horizontal line a horizontalsurface; an oblique line an oblique surface; a curved line ucurved surface, and a receding line a receding surface.
