It largely depends on the kind of Head Line and the will power shown by it, to determine whether its owner will develop the natural artistic temperament that he or she possesses.
Such hands being generally full, fleshy, or soft, there is always a decidedly pronounced indolence in the nature which, if not overcome, combats the hard work necessary to achieve any real result.

All very emotional people have more or less the characteristics of this type, but great numbers simply squander their time in the appreciation of art, rather than in making the effort in themselves to create it.
The harder and firmer this type of hand is, the more likely it is to find that its possessor will really make something out of his artistic temperament.
THE PSYCHIC OR IDEALISTIC HAND This type (Plate II., Part II.), may in many ways be considered as the highest development of the hand on the purely mental plane, but from a worldly standpoint it is the least successful of all.

Its possessors live in a world of dreams and ideals.

They know little or nothing about the practical or purely material side of existence, and when they have to earn their own bread they gain so little that they usually starve.
These beautiful hands do not appear made for work in any sense.

They are also too spiritual and frail to deal blows and hold their own in the battle of life.
