2. Rules for Biological Diagramming
Use unlined white paper and a sharp HB pencil.
Leave an empty margin of about 1 cm all around your page.
Print your name at the top right hand corner. (Use a ruler.)
When drawing cells, choose only one cell and show the edge of neighboring cells to show the connection.
Title your drawing. (ex. Figure 1 – Epithelial Cell.)
Draw the outline of your subject with clear and unbroken lines. Your drawing should be about half the page. When possible, your drawing should be vertical.
Use lines to show the out of visible structures. Do not shade or colour your drawings in any way. Keep the objects in proportion to one another.
Use a ruler to draw horizontal lines from the structures to the right of the drawing to label (print). No crossing lines!
Measure (in cm or mm) your diagram at its longest point; show measure on the left side of the diagram.
At the bottom right corner, print the subject drawn, the magnification of the drawing, and the scale.
