ABSTRACT

Note that when two action strokes are written one after the other on the page, they happen one after the other in time. When they are written side by side, they occur at the same time.

THE CENTER LINE The next step in a progression from general description to more specific is the indication of the use of right or left side of the body. An action may occur on one side of the body or

the other. To show this, we draw a vertical line to represent he vertical center line in the body and place action strokes on either side of this center line. The vertical center line is centered on and connected to the double starting line.
