DRAWN FROM NATURE.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCOMPANY

JULIEN’S PROGRESSIVE STUDIES OF HEADS.

|T is universally admitted tliat in tlie art of Drawing more is acquired by practice than by theory, and that practice combined with observation
and reflection is the only means by which knowledge can be obtained. It is, however, obviously of the utmost importance that the
learner should commence and proceed on distinct principles ; and that the examples which he proposes to imitate should possess those
qualities which wrill suitably facilitate his progress, strengthen his judgment, and form his hand to a proper style.
The system endeavoured to be illustrated in the accompanying Plates, by a progressive course of figures, is that essential method
of decidedly determining the relative bearings of all the most conspicuous points in a geometrical manner, before proceeding with details,
as is indicated in the early examples by dotted lines ; nothing is arranged or recommended in the copying of the present subjects, but upon
principles which can be equally and truly applied to the delineation of the real objects, and therefore the learner may rely with certainty
on the foundation these will become for subsequent practice.
In the Human Pace and Pigure, correctness of form is unquestionably the principal point to he aimed at ; to accomplish this
the learner, in his first exercises, should become well acquainted with all the parts of a Pace before he attempts the entire head ; and, in
studying each and every part, to make himself well acquainted with its proportions and appearances — in its height, length, and, every other
dimension. In order to succeed in this, he cannot too often contemplate his original ; he should therefore place it directly before him, examine
it carefully and deliberately, observe the position and proportion of all the leading points, both with regard to themselves and to each other.
It will be highly beneficial to the beginner, and render the use of the pencil easy, and enable him to acquire a full command of hand,
to draw his faces the size of life at his commencement ; for having attained the power of drawing their forms in distinct dimensions, he will find
smaller ones much easier ; whereas, commenciijg with smaller, will not so well qualify him to delineate those of the natural size, and especially as
the fulness of the scale requires more study, and gives better opportunities for the thorough understanding of the details and the modelling of the
respective forms. The learner should commence with the imitation of the features singly, in many different views and positions ; and after
becoming able to draw the parts separately with accuracy, then to undertake the entire face, beginning with a profile. Having mastered this,
the full face may then occupy his attention ; and in this a few mechanical rules will assist him : as, for instance, in attempting the entire
face he may first describe an oval, somewhat narrower towards the bottom than at the top, when he is at liberty to draw, or suppose to be
drawn, a perpendicular line down the middle, which serves as a guide for the situation of the nose and mouth ; this line is to be crossed by
others, on which are placed the nostrils, mouth, and chin. In every variety of position the existence or supposition of these lines is of great
service to the learner, as they enable him to place the features much more accurately than could be done without an adherence to them ;

always remembering that in every case the lines on -which the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and chin are placed, must perfectly correspond with each
other, and be always at right angles -with the perpendicular line supposed to be drawn through their centre : the continuance of this method
will more readily produce accuracy, and undoubtedly render the practice more easy and agreeable to the beginner.
To ensure further success, the student must habitually accustom himself to patience and diligence; first essays are almost always
rude and incorrect, and therefore he should not form any estimate of his own ability from his early attempts ; a little judicious practice will
remove many difficulties, and he who proceeds deliberately, and makes correctness and truth of imitation his principal aim, will not fail to
acquire a superior knowledge of the Human Pace, and gain the habit and power of delineating it with certainty, and from which he can with confidence

proceed to the study of the Human Pigure, as progressively represented in that part of the present work which is devoted to its illustration.*
