Lab Drawing

1)  Use a sharp pencil only, no pens or coloured pencils.

2)  Use clear, continuous lines. No overlapping lines.

3)  Do not use any form of shading.

4)  Draw what you observe. Not what you think should see.

5)  Make the drawing large enough. It should occupy more than half of the available space on the page.

6)  Correct mistakes by using a good quality eraser to rub out lines completely.

7)  Include a title, if relevant, stating what the specimen is.

8)  Include a scale, if relevant, eg. x100. 

9)  Label lines must not cross each other, line up vertically above each other.

10)  Labels must be written horizontally.
