Synopsis

Excerpt from Model Drawing and Shading From Casts: A Complete Guide to the Elementary and Advanced Examinations in These Subjects In this book I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid mixing up model drawing with geometry or perspective. The few geometrical terms which it has been necessary to use are all explained. These explanations may cause a smile to the average art student; but I have found that it is always safest to take nothing for granted, and my aim has been to, provide a complete guide to the subject for every one, whether they have any previous knowledge of technical terms or not. Although the principles of perspective and model drawing are the same - and a thorough knowledge of perspective is a real help in drawing from objects; the superficial knowledge of it possessed by the average student of model drawing is often rather a hindrance than otherwise, and I have not unfrequently found students, who have obtained their certificate for perspective, quite unable to apply their knowledge to model drawing.
