To do good work, good instruments are essential. An accomplished draftsman may do fair work with poor instruments, but the beginner will find it sufficiently hard to do creditable work without being handicapped by poor instruments. It is also essential that the instruments should be kept in good order. They should be handled carefully, and wiped, before being put away, with wash-leather or chamois skin. This is especially needful if the hands perspire perceptibly. 2. Pencilling. Drawings should always be first made in pencil, and inked afterwards if desired. The idea of pencilling is to locate the lines exactly, and to make them of the required length. Accuracy in a drawing can only be obtained by accuracy in the pencil construction. There is a great tendency among beginners to overlook this important fact, and to become careless in pencilling, thinking they will be able to correct their inaccuracies when inking.
