CONSTRUCTION OF THE HEAD IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS

LESSON XV

THE ARM AND HAND

Arms and hands require a great deal of close study before they can be drawn satisfactorily. In this lesson are given the proportions, and direction of the principal lines of an arm and hand, breaks being left where the lines change their direction.

Leave all breaks when drawing the figures from the chart.

Place your own arm in front of a mirror in the positions given, and see if you can follow the points illustrated. A woman’s arm being more slender and delicate than a man’s, the muscles are not so clearly defined. When drawing arms in fashions, bear this in mind, but use the chart as a guide.

No matter how slender or delicate an arm is, it must have the shape of an arm and not look like a post. Hands, in fashions, are not chubby, except on children, but are slender, the fingers being long and tapering.
