Using Tools


Sometimes I want to do something a little different. I placed the inital outer circle and one set of arc guides with a compass, lightly and in pencil. I then went over those with my pen without the compass. It is quite easy to tell that I had no help drawing the ink lines, since they are definitely "out of round". Rarely, when I start a drawing, do I know what it will look like finished. Quite often, as I go along, I see something else in the blank paper and feel the need to bring it out. I finally understand the sculptors who say that they did not "make" a statue, but rather they got rid of all the stone that was not part of the statue. I trust you'll enjoy this
