MODULE 1 • PLANNING THE FRONT

Step	Description
1	The first thing you need to do is to establish your center line on the page. Draw a line, either with your ruler, or by eye. Leave 1/4” (6mm) on the top and bottom of the page.
2	Divide that line in half and place a mark. This marks the centerline.
3	We will be drawing what is called a 10-headed proportion, so you will divide your line into 10 equal sections, or at 1 ½” (3.8cm) apart. I have numbered them 1, 2, 3. 4. 5, and I’ll do the same thing on the bottom 6 , 7, 8, 9. 10.
