In the case of "Achille De Gas in the Uniform of a Cadet" by Edgar Degas, the artist most likely started drawing with the **head**. Artists often begin with the head to establish the proportions and placement of the rest of the body in relation to it. This approach helps to maintain proper scale and alignment for the rest of the figure.
