From L. A. Doust, A Manual on Sketching from Life, 1949."It is a greater achievement to get movement in your drawing than careful finish; this is exemplified in the three sketches at the bottom of Plate 14. What do you notice about the man on the left? He is walking fast. Yes, and how is this effect of speed shown? Chiefly by the long stride, the body bent at an angle with the rear leg (see dotted line), and swing of right arm backwards. Also by the rapid slashy lines."
