You will see onpages 29 and 30 the progressive steps by which five differentkinds are pictured. In each case it is the last figure of eachseries of diagrams that you are striving to copy. And Figure 1,in each case, shows the first lines that you put on the paper. It is also possible to draw butterflies in the way suggested fordrawing leaves; that is, marking out at the beginning thewhole space that the subject takes up. But the five simple combinations of lines, grouped above, are soexpressive of our subjects, that marking them first makes avery good way to start picturing the five butterflies.
