not to neglect introducing some handsome folds among these draperies,
but it must be done with great judgment, and suited to the parts, where,
by the actions of the limbs and position of the whole body, they gather
together. Above all, be careful to vary the quality and quantity of your
folds in compositions of many figures; so that, if some have large
folds, produced by thick woollen cloth, others being dressed in thinner
stuff, may have them narrower; some sharp and straight, others soft and
undulating.

_Leonardo._


CXXX

Do not spare yourself in drawing from the living model, draped as well
as undraped; in fact, draw drapery continually, for remember that the
beauty of your design must largely depend on the design of the drapery.
What you should aim at is to get so familiar with all this that you can
at last make your design with ease and something like certainty, without
drawing from models in the first draught, though you should make studies
from nature afterwards.

_William Morris._


CXXXI

A woman's shape is best in repose, but the fine thing about a man is
that he is such a splendid machine, so you can put him in motion, and
make as many knobs and joints and muscles about him as you please.
