Drawing Rules:
• Drawings should be done on plain paper (without lines) only.• Paper should be bordered 1 cm form the margin at all for sides.
• Only sharp pencils should be used on your drawing paper (NO PEN).
• Each drawing should have a title which is to be written in CAPITAL letters and can be place at the bottom of the paper.
It should begin as follows eg. DRAWING OF A _______________.
• Each drawing must have a magnification; this will give you the comparative size of your drawing to that of the original specimen. It can be calculated as follows
Magnification = length of drawing / length of specimen
The figure is always to 2 decimal places. Eg. Mg X 0.53 (no units required)
• Both the title and magnification should be singly underlined with the exception of Scientific names which will double underlined and written using the rules for written scientific names.
• Drawings should be large, clean and clear and to one side of the paper this is to accommodate labels.
• Smooth continuous lines should be use, no sketching or double lines allowed.
• Label lines should be drawn with a straight edge and should be parallel to each other (they should never cross), they should all end at the same place on the page.
• Labels should be to one side of the drawing (no arrow heads at the end if label lines)
• Labels should be written with pencil in lower case script
• No shading allowed instead you are allowed to stipple (use dots) or dashes (-) or lines to show contrast
