use. To avoid tiresomeness, they are introduced with frequency into other examples in which interest is obtained by enclosing the practice lines in various forms. In A, the lines are about as evenly placed as could be expected from a pupil after several months of training-. In B, the lines are such as would be made by the absolutely untrained hand and eye.
C shows lines enclosed in order to train the pupil to stop the lines within prescribed limits.
In Fig. 6, at D, the lines are drawn backward and forward quickly without removing the pencil.
E consists of lines drawn quickly, but by lifting the pencil at the end of each stroke.
At F the lines are broken, but firmly and evenly placed.
Even Pressure Desirable. Teach the pupil that it is most
desirable to learn to make a line with an even pressure, from the moment the pencil or crayon touches the paper until it leaves it; that is, the making of a line that neither presses into the paper at the beginning nor drops off at the end.
Fig- 7 gives practice lines that are used in nearly all drawings, from the parallel lines at the top, the graduated lines in the second row, the cross-hatch lines near the bottom
