Charles Antoine Jombert's 1755 Paris drawing manual, Methode Pour Apprendre Le Dessein, teaches students to draw the human figure through engraved plates of anatomy and posed figures with numbered guide lines. The plates show nude male figures in classical poses, annotated with dotted construction lines and proportion marks, which a designer could use as reference for figure proportion and the grid method of construction.
