  • Precise and detailed

  • Incomplete

Answer

Doré's original drawings for the block-cutters were usually sketch-like and free, as they were intended to provide the block-cutters with a general idea of the scene and its elements. The block-cutters would then use these drawings to create the final engravings, which would be used to create the illustrations in Doré's books.
