Drawing biology diagrams some times becomes a tough job for students. Many students experience difficulty in drawings, though they are good in descriptive part.In spite of hard work, the diagrams may not fetch good marks.
The reason is so obvious that an inaccurate, illegible diagram with no appeal can hardly impress the examiner in awarding maximum marks. Though students label parts correctly, they may get only 2 marks, because of poor diagramatic skills. Here are the tips which will make your diagrams look "out standing and accurate", helping you to score 'out of marks'.I hope you will have great experience in taking tour of this blog. All the best.
1.Always draw on un-ruled white paper aiming your diagram towards left, leaving space for labeling on right.
2.Draw using sharp single line, large enough to depict all parts of diagram clearly.
3.If you need to represent dark areas of diagram do not shade but put dots.
4.While labeling the parts, use single straight line towards right side of diagram. Ensure all labeling lines are parallel to each other as far as possible to give aesthetic appeal. Do not cross the lines one over other.
5.Draw scale bars representing actual dimensions of specimen, if your are asked to draw by looking at specimen.
6.Use always extra bold or 2H lead pencil to make your diagram clear and crispy.Never use a pen to label the parts or draw any part of diagram.
7. Do not number the labels and mention separately below diagram.
Here is example diagram of Euglena
to demonstrate right method of drawing.
-Do not draw the diagram using multiple strokes as on left but draw using smooth curve as shown in illustration.
-You can use those strokes while developing outline of diagrams but later you have to erase them and replace with a smooth curve.
Shading the diagram gives aesthetic appeal but it isn't the rule of biology diagram.So,do not shade any biology diagrams, but put neat dots as shown.
Do not intersect the
labeling lines as shown,because it causes confusion in understanding,
what part you are exactly labeling. you may loose marks for that. Draw
the labeling lines parallel to each other as far as possible with out
intersecting them, as shown in below example.
