THE PRACTICAL SKETCHER


LESSON NO. 28

DOTTED OUTLINE FOUNDATION
FRONT AND BACK VIEW

These 2 diagrams are showing the front and back dotted outline foundation, which are an exact copy of the front and back foundation given with full description and systematic outlines in the front pages.

The reason for doing so is to show the clear views of these diagrams without any systematic outlines. The same can, no doubt, be obtained only when the student has a full knowledge of how to produce the foundation by systematic outlines only, because sketching or free hand drawing needs training just as well as everything else and to train ourselves to such mechanical controlling that this is the particular reason that all sketching outlines are shown with systematical productions in most of the work given in this book.

Now, in order to make use of these diagrams it is necessary to practice each and every diagram so long that you are able to make it a free hand outline as given herewith. Then when we have the taste for sketching any style of garment, we are ready to continue the same on the clear figure drawings. To obtain the best results watch the next lessons of how to sketch a style on a systematic foundation.
