Lit [It is] easier to draw a devil than to draw people; [i.e., if it is harder to portray familiar things like people, dogs and horses accurately, because they are familiar to everyone, while it is easier to portray ghosts and spirits because they are rarely seen, and they often change their appearances, so there is no set standard to judge by.]
