THE FIRST PART

XVI.

In my other book, I wish to discuss the transformation of forms more extensively, particularly regarding each part of the human body. Therefore, I have chosen not to demonstrate with these current examples any but the simplest objects of study, which describe four methods for depicting hands. A is the hand, drawn in a diamond shape at B, similar to C, and then further extended at D. I find this to be the easiest way to portray hands.

In my second book, I wish to translate broadly about the transformation of appearances and precisely each part of the human body. Currently, I chose not to show anything more from these problems than the easiest representations, such as the hand A in a diamond shape, like B, C, and D, which extends a bit further because of the fingers. I find this to be the easiest way to draw hands well.

In my second book, I wish to discuss the change in depiction of objects more extensively, particularly concerning each part of the human body. I have chosen not to show any more than the simplest objects in this present problem, including four methods for depicting hands and their gestures. The first is the hand A, which I draw in a diamond shape B similar to C and likewise D, which extends slightly further due to the fingers. I find this the easiest way to draw hands well.

Since I wish to handle the changes of appearances extensively in another book, particularly concerning each part of the human body, I have not desired to show here more than the simplest expressions of various hands and their positioning. The first is the hand A, drawn in a diamond-like figure B, similar to C, and D, which extends further with the fingers. I have found this the simplest way to portray them.
