  16. Hi kardkrazy,
    to be honest, I didn't know either till I researched a little.
    this sketch by da Vinci, is based on the writtings of an Ancient Roman Architect named VITRUVIUS.
    he was the one who made a Study of Proportions, of the human body.
    it's quite long, but this is the a few of the proportions..
    a palm is the width of 4 fingers,
    a foot is the width of four palms,
    the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height... and so on.. facinating really...
    So now we both know..lol!!!
    oh and i'm glad you liked my ATC :o)
