Textual Complexity vs. Visual Simplicity

[quimqu]

It’s really strange. One could say that, in terms of difficulty for a person, the skills progress as follows (just think of one’s own development while growing up):

1. painting (in a simple style) while copying from other drawings (as Koen shows in post You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.)
   
2. painting without copying (simple style)
   
3. drawing while copying (at least, some details could be drawn better, like the boots (supposing the scriba was copying, for example, the man with beard))
   
4. drawing from scratch
   
5. writing
   
6. calligraphy
   

So why is it so upside down in the Voynich? I mean, the easiest things are done the worst…

(OK... the order of 4 and 5 can be changed)
