It will be well, as his dissection progresses, first to outline the muscles, having previously ascertained as far as possible their exact attachments by dissection. Their general shape and superficial limits may be shown by continuous lines; their attachments beneath, which are often ascertained best after division, may be shown by dotted lines. The arteries, important veins, and nerves may then be added. Wherever these are hidden by overlying structures, their course can be indicated by dotted lines. At his leisure he may complete his drawing. This is most satisfactorily done by using for the muscles thin washes of transparent colours. The arteries and veins may be shown in darker tints. The ligaments and tendons may be coloured with gamboge, and the nerves afterwards picked out with Chinese white, or with some other colour.
