or downe the Eyes Nose and Mouth must turne with it when you have made these stroakes rightly proceed to the placing of the features as in the rules before There is this three-fold equall proportion usually observed in a Face 1 From the top of the fore-head to the eye-brows 2 From the 〈◊〉 brows to the bottome of the nose 3 From thence to the bottom of the chin but this proportion is not constant for sometimes the fore-head is lower then at other times and some 〈◊〉 noses longer other shorter and therefore this rule is not alwayes to be observed but onely in a well proportioned Face The distance between the two eyes is Iust the length of one eye if it be a full face but if it turne any thing aside then that distance is lesned accordingly the nostrill ought not to come out further then the 〈◊〉 of the eye in any face and the mouth must be placed alwayes between the eyes and the chin Iust under the mouth Further Directions about a Face BEcause the greatest difficulty and principall part of this Art lies in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of a Face I thought good to adde these further Directions to make 〈◊〉 the more perfect in the drawing of it 1 If you would rightly draw a Face that it may resemble the patterne you draw 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 you must in the first place take notice of the Visiognomy or 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it be long or round fat or lean big or little that so you may be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to draw the right visiognomy or bignesse of the Face which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 face you shall perceive the cheeks to make the side of the face to swell out 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 make the face look as if it were square if a lean face the Iaw bones will 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in and the face will look long and 〈◊〉 if it be neither 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nor too 〈◊〉 the face will be round for the most part 〈◊〉 you draw the utmost Circumference of a face you must take in the head and all with 〈◊〉 otherwise you may be deceived in drawing the true bignesse of a face Generall Rules for the Practise of Drawing 1. HAving your charcoal neatly sharpned you must at the first in drawing of a face lightly draw the out-stroak or circumference of the face Iust according to the bignes of your pattern making it to stand fore-right or to turn upvvards or dovvnvvards according to your patterne then make some little touches vvhere the features as the Eyes Nose Mouth Chinne should be placed not drawing them exactly at the 〈◊〉 and having thus exactly pointed out the places where the features should bee begin to draw them more exactly and so proceed till the face be finished and then make the hair beard and other things about it In making of a side face you need not at first exactly draw the nose mouth and chin that stand in the outmost line but onely make it at first but a bare circumference turning this way or that way according as the pattern doth and then make the mouth nose and chin to come out afterwards in the right places and Iust proportion 2 The Circles Squares and Triangles that are made in the Print about a face are to guide your apprehensions the more readily to the framing of one that being as it were led by a line you may the more easily know where abouts to place the features as eyes nose mouth c. which when you are able to doe without them these are of no use at all but onely to guide you at the first to the placing of them 3 In the third place you must be sure to place the musles in their right and proper places by the musles I meane all the shadows that are caused by some dents or swellings in the face and be able to find out the reason of every musle that so you may proceed to work with the more Iudgement you shall perceive the musles most in an old and withered face and you must first draw the principall of them and then you may the more easily draw the lesser within you must be very exact in the right placing of them or else you spoyle your draft be it never so good 4 Observe to make the shadows rightly and be sure not to make them to darke where they should be faint for if you doe you can never recover it to make it light again and 〈◊〉 the whole face will be mar'd and appear unhandsome the shadows are generally fainter and lighter in a faire face then in a swarthy complexion when you have finisht your draft you will do very well to give here and there some hard touches with your pen where the shadows are darkest which will adde a great life and grace to your drawing When you have finisht the face then come to the ears and haire wherein you must observe this rule having drawne the out-line of it you must first draw the principal Curles or master-strokes in the haire which will guide you with ease to doe the 〈◊〉 curls which have their dependance on them always make your curle to bend and 〈◊〉 exactly according to the patterne that they may lye loose and safte and not look as if they were stiffe stubborne and unplyable When you have drawne the curls rightly you must in the last place strike in the loose haires which hang carelesly out of the curls When you can draw a face which is the principall thing in the Art then goe to hands and arms legs and feet and so to full bodies of men and women which are the most difficult things which if you can attaine to performe with a well grounded 〈◊〉 nothing then will be difficult to you but will be most easie as flowers birds beasts 〈◊〉 or any other thing that is to be drawne by hand Of Drawing Hands and Feet To foreshorten the Hands You must draw the perpendicular lynes from the Hands seene slopewise or a syde marked with their proportions and measures 1. 2. 3. 4. upon which the shining would so cast them downe vnto the Dyagonall marked at the ende with O. and then carry the reflexion of them levelly from the intersections of those perpendicular lynes in the Dyagonall aforesaid untill you come vnder the place of the foreshortened Hands therby to gett the shaddowe from which shaddow you must perpendicularly rayse perpendicular lines vntill then may meete or intersect levell lines drawne also from the first hand seene asyde so will the intersections of the said lase named levell lines and raysed perpendiculars give the foreshortened Hands A. B. C. D. E. Even as the Eye would see the Sydewise or sloping Hande So shall the workman see the Hand foreshortened by meanes of the said shaddow The actions and postures of the hand are so various that I can give you no certain rule for the drawing of them onely take this for a generall when you first draw it with charcoal
