not correspondent that will be but disgracefull and give great distast to any judicious beholder be the other parts never so well and fairly done that will rest without grace and unworthy of commendations Of the Head upright or with a Triangle CHAP. III. THe manner to make the upright Head by just and safe Rules without errour is thus First form a perfect equall Triangle so as you see in what position you will having a respect to the Draughts I have presented with the Lines that form with the Compasses a just Equilaterall Triangle which is with 3. Lines just and equall every way turning the Triangle to make the Face upon one of the 3. sides be it which you will either upwards downwards higher or lower dividing that side into 3. equall parts as in the sequent Figure The 1. to serve from the lower part of the Hair to the lower part of the Forehead The 2. thence to the under part of the Nostrills The 3. to the lower part of the Chin Now having framed these 3. Lines as I have shewed Number 2d draw a little crooked Stroke with a Cole or Chalk out of the right Line that that may reach to the other point and that will form the Forehead From whence draw a waved slope Line bending at the end to form the Nose either long short gross or thin as you would have that ending that at the 2d point where the Nostrills end Then subdivide the remaining 3d part in the midst where the Mouth shall be placed for the parting of the upper and under-Lips Then frame the Chin having a respect to the perpendicular Line that that fall not out of the middle of the Chin adjoyning thereto the under-Chin down to the Throat-pit So with the other two dividing Lines the one from the top of the Forehead downwards and ends in the midst of the back part of the Ear the other proceedeth upwards from the Chin ascending till that meet with the superior descending Line whose intersection directeth the Ear that the Circumference thereof stretch not too far which in the first Chapter I formed by the Rule of the Circle Thus with your judgement take the upper part of the Forehead and come to describe a great Circular Line about to form with that the roundness of the Head unto the Nape of the Neck keeping the proportion that Nature teacheth and from thence downwards frame the rest of the Neck remembring that the tip of the Ear doth not exceed the lower part of the Nostrill So you may have the Head in what position you will so this abandon not the two other Lines each concurring in their due points Of the Foreright and other Positions of the Face CHAP. IV. HAving demonstrated an easie way how to draw the upright Head it will be also necessary to shew the manner how to draw the foreright Face and in other Positions Being then desirous to draw the foreright Face it will be necessary to form a perfect Ovall as I shewed in the Rule for drawing the Ear which being made divide in the midst with a Line the longest way which must from the lower part of the Hair be divided into 3. equall parts by 2. Lines as you see In the 1. is the Eyes to be placed in the 2d the Nostrils then the lower part divided in the midst thereof must the Mouth be formed as by the Figure may be conceived alwayes remembring that the Eyes must be in the 1. Line and each of them distant from the other the length of one of them and that their inner Corners be perpendicularly over the outside of the Nostrils punctually But to make the Ears in a foreright Face the Ovall must be exceeding narrow yet proportional that is that the Ears be drawn in and be in height from the Nostrils to the Eye-brows and then adjoyn the Neck with the Hair in such sort as may seem most pleasing to the judicious Eye Of the Inclining or Foreshortning of the Face CHAP. V. IN this Figure I will make a brief Declaration concerning the scituation or posture and being respective of the bigness to give easie wayes to observe in framing the altitude of the Head in any inclination as well in Foreshortning or other postures This then requireth small labour and yet I have explained the same that the manner thereof may be plainly seen and the path infallible by the Lines as they turn and concord together Imitating the like you may with facility draw in their places the Nose the Mouth and all the parts in good order agreeing correspondently without much labour as I will shew with these simple Lines which with a little practice to prepare the hand and judgement thereto all which may be absolutely well effected thereby Of a more perfect Foreshortning CHAP. VI HItherto have I treated of the Head both foreright and in other positions but that you might know all that is needfull for the perfect understanding of this profession it is necessary that I specifie the Manner how to draw the Face by an easie absolute and fair way Treating thus I propound to you Methodicall meanes therein because my intent is to facilitate the matter in that manner that without writing thereupon it may be intelligible For a Draught well made hath that power that it makes itself understood without any Discourse of the Author thereon But I alwayes observe both the one and the other also instructing by the Draught the intelligence first and afterward by Discourse thereupon I say then that the Foreshortning which is made only with Frets Grates Squares or with Geometricall instruments breed only a confusion of Lines which is not the best principle of expert ingenuity the reason whereof is that it can hardly be measured by any Rule unless the whole Body be framed together Therefore I will shew an easie Rule very like to that of the foreright Face that is to make a Circular Draught with aspect upwards or downwards as in the foreright Head where the Traverse Lines are straight but these go Circularly as in the Figures in the last Chapter going before may be seen For if the Heads flye upwards the Trace Strokes and the Divisions must be raised as I have shewed with Caution that the Ears and Eyes fall not without their due points Of the upright or side-Face without any Measure CHAP. VII BEing desirous to make an upright Head or side-Face without any Triangle or other Measure you shall not need alwayes to make the Triangle but with a little care and practice to form the Eye which will serve for direction sufficiently because the Head and other parts of the Body are to be proportionals and made from Measures it will easily follow framing many with one and the same Stroke you may not only facilitate it by the Eye and Judgement but also accommodate the Hand to trace and draw all things right for it is true that the Eye will have his place And I have proved
