REDUCTION OF DRAWINGS AND TECHNIQUES
It is wise sometimes to sacrifice good drawing for effects. I mean by this, that a drawing made large and carefully treated may not show up so well when reduced as a drawing treated with more vigor and dash. A bold, dashy drawing will stand a greater reduction with better effect. By using a reducing glass you will be able to determine the amount of reduction your drawings will stand. A reducing glass is the opposite to a magnifying glass. The former has both sides of its glass concave, while the latter is convex. They can be procured at artists' or opticians' supply stores.
