Page Summary:

The page discusses the specific techniques of drawing shadows on shortened legs and thighs. It explains how these shadows are represented by diagonal lines crossing the figures and how measurements can be checked marked by line A. This instruction is detailed across various languages, emphasizing specific methods to draw the shadows and intersections for clarity.

THE SECOND PART

PROBLEM 4.

Particularities of the Shortened Legs and Thighs.

In the preceding figure and this one, the only difference is the shadow of the previous figure falling diagonally, as seen by the diagonal line crossing through the middle of the shadow. Above this, marked measures can be observed along the line labeled A, proceeding perpendicularly from the legs and thighs bent to the side, where the sunlight hits, these measures help position the bent legs and thighs marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. To create shadows of the bent leg and another straight leg from the first figure, obtain the measure above the line A noted in the first figure, transferring them onto the diagonal line in opposition, to shadow this other straight leg: these shadows are created using thick lines, with lines drawn perpendicularly up to the figure: upon this shadow; make intersections at the level of the first figure's lines from where the sun hits, and the rest is handled by the same rule as before.

PARTICULARITIES OF THE SHORTENED LEGS AND THIGHS.

Between the previous figure and this one, the only difference is that the shadow of the present figure tilts diagonally, as seen by the Diagonal line crossing at the middle of the shadow, above which the measures are marked, which are along the line labeled A, proceeding perpendicularly from the figure's bent legs and thighs where the sunlight touches, these measures serve in positioning the bent leg marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Draw rectangles from the diagonal where the shadow is, lines marked 1, 2, 4, 5. To create the shadow of the bent leg: and of the other stretched leg, of the first figure collect measures from line A to transfer onto the diagonal line opposite, creating the shadow of this other stretched leg, which shadows are made using thickness, with intersections on the advancing lines perpendicularly to the cut-off figure: which behind said shadow, intersections are made with level lines, proceeding from the first side figure where the sun hits, the rest is treated using the same previous rule.

Explanation of Shortening the Legs and Calves.

The above successive figure is inadequately shadowed: only that the shadow from this figure's shading point hangs / is visible by the bow line / the middle arc / shadow inside places along with marked measurements along the waterway line with letter A straight-cut: marked Thatcher fall downs from hanging lines / the legs expose themselves As far as the sun shines, ordered movements appear inoperative from the head The sun in the positive posing of shadows emerging from the feet so measures need taken by use of bow lines where the shadow appears marked 1, 2, 3, 4. The stretched bow length and make the shadow line 5 sees on the up-even line: where one can use different affecting methods

Explanation of the Legs and Calves, their shortening.

The only different aspect of the previous figure is the shade from this extending beyond where the center-line / the straight center through the horizontal goes/ on both sides mark determinations stand / pointed above the WaelvraS-line with label. shadows rising with marked thicknesses to settle concluding identified by Sun diffusion,/in recognizing held for legs and calves when off by strict shade / only moving 1, 2, 3, 4. of when appearing proper steppe seen beginning and cross appeal expresses with the better-identifier attentiveness labelled accordingly Z1.
