[COMPLETE] Practice and Science of Drawing by H. Speed - availle

Chapter 15 notes:

Intro: You read the title as "The Practice of Science of Drawing." This should be "The Practice and Science of Drawing."
Ending: You said "End of Balance." This should be the chapter number, not the title: "End of Chapter 15."

That must have been the quickest PLing ever! Thanks Devorah!

I'm doing a PL-a-thon today! Things have been submitted one after the other over the past few days on many of the projects I'm DPLing, and I knew I'd have the day off, so I'm trying to knock out as much as possible.

Incidentally, I think fastest PL ever goes to craigdav1. He was DPL for my last solo, and at one point, I was editing several chapters back to back, planning to post when they were all uploaded. Before I had even posted or finished editing the second chapter I was working on, I had PL notes for the first one!

A PL-a-thon, how cute!

Well, I hope you've snuggled up in your favourite jammies in your favourite chair, with your favourite cookies right beside you; and then I wish you a successful day!

About Dave, yes, his speed is amazing! To be fair, I don't think he ever sleeps... Maybe he's not a real person, but one of those bots - a DPL bot - who's just online all the time, doesn't need food or sleep.

You may be right, there!

Running time after corrections is 42:28. (Remember to include this information in the future for each section you submit. )

Oh! I completely lost track of that requirement -- thank you for that!

Hey Rick, I've seen your test is good - I've given section 16 to you. Have fun!

I can do Section 12 if that is not already secured.

It is yours!

But I warn you: this is a massive, massive section! It will be about 1 hour completed recording, so don't be surprised when this is dragging on and on... while you're doing it.

Good luck!

Ava,
Gulp! This is a very interesting section as are all I'm sure.
While we are not reading the captions of pictures and diagrams, should I plan to read the
body of the text complete with where it says...for example "[Transcribers Note: Diagram XIV]"??
If so, I will accurately say "Transcribers Note: Diagram 14" in this case.

Post by **Availle** » February 20th, 2018, 6:00 pm

You can leave out those Transcriber's Notes altogether since they were inserted when the gutenberg text was made. The plates are mentioned in the main text (even though sometimes under different names), so it's okay.

Ava,
Another question, upon further inspection of the text, it gives page # references that don't necessarily line up with the picture or diagram the author is referring to, should I still read the page numbers provided in the script?

Post by **Availle** » February 21st, 2018, 6:22 pm

Yes, page numbers are always an issue with digital texts...

If they are in the text, "diagram 198 on page 76 shows..." read them as they are (even though they don't make much sense).

Thanks!
