Compare with Fig. 16.

After you have applied in your study all the above-mentioned rules and firmly drawn it, with perhaps a little exaggeration, it will be easy to modify the latter, to take off its crudeness or hardness. You have only to let yourself be guided by your anatomical knowledge to give the right direction to the forms, just as you would do when modelling in the round. Fig. 22.

FIG. 21.

Compare with Fig. 17.

The study of relief must, even more than the study in the round, be done by colour. You must not work long under the same effect of light and shadow; vou must frequently change the lighting, but be careful always to place your work and the model under the same effect.

As it is impossible to give in a relief of one inch thickness the same intensity in the dark shadows that you see in the model, you must make a scale of values. If the darkest shadow in the model has, figuratively speaking, an intensity of sixteen degrees, and if we cannot obtain more than four degrees of depth in our relief of one inch projection, all the secondary values must be taken in the same proportion, i.e. as 16 to 4.
