THE SECOND PART
II. PROBLEM.
Having already set up my man in the visualization of proportions for size and good representation of sketches making similar proportions...
... continued with more technical instructions for drawing using various geometric and proportional techniques. Descriptions include measures for body parts and placement concerning the overall human figure design.
Translation Notes
Italian: 'diamenzia' implies measured dimensions, focusing on proportions crucial for visual representation.
Dutch: Technical descriptive terms are similar but have an old vernacular which may translate approximately into technical jargon.
French: Phrases translate with emphasis on anatomical placement and dimensionings, similar to Italian and Dutch but with different phrasing.
German: Provides instruction on measurement and sketching techniques; 'geschickt' refers to skillfulness.
