4. His understanding of machines for his painting was more important because by understanding how each separate machine part worked, he could improve them and combine them in different ways to improve existing machines, which lead to a lot of inventions.
such a great painter?
2. Why were Leonardo’s designs different? 3. How did painting help him invent things? 4. Which skill do you think was more important: his drawing for the inventions or his understanding of machines for his painting? Give a reason.

3. While he was studying under Verrochio, Leonardo observed and used a variety of machines, by studying and drawing the machines, Leonardo gained knowledge about their design and structure. His drawing skill enable him to produce clear drawings of his mechanical ideas easily, many of which can still be used to create perfect working machines. the use of mechanical gears was his most interesting part and he came up with numerous inventions based on the gear .
I sometimes look at books about different machines and try to design perfect working machines.
