RULE XIIii

Followers are strictly forbidden. Any drawing that is

PAGE 22iii. MORE MIXED MEDIA, phil sawdon

laughing, singing, humming, whistling, whittling or

sharpening. A drawing will be immediately erased if

it is rowdy and rambunctious.

Use only a pencil. When an accident occurs, a pencil

mark is easier to erase than a pen mark. Be careful

not to point with your pencil or other objects; this

can endanger the drawing.
