In the flat muff the lines follow the form. As the muff is flat, the lines are straighter and the plane at the end is narrow. Note the lines as they go around the muff and around the hole.
For all fur obtain a good outline first on which place the correct lines.
FANS
All sticks for a fan must meet in one point, which is in the hand.
Draw the end sticks making them meet, the top of the fan, the middle stick, and the one half-way between it and the end sticks. These divisions may be divided and sub-divided. Sticks are often drawn with a double line.
A fan partly open will take the lines of the plaits on a skirt. In this position the middle sticks are hidden where they join the center.
On these foundations any kind of a fan may be created. If the shape at the top is different from this set curve, draw it so, but remember the principles stated.
Feather fans are very popular in fashions.
The student should make a large collection of pictures of furs during the winter, as he may wish to use them in summer for the following season.
Try placing a fur texture all over a coat. For this a good copy is needed.
Remember black fur will have white lines. A white fur against a black background is very effective.
