Good. It’s getting faster.
I’ve vectorized 17 of my 24 pages (sounds like sci-fi) and have been printing them out and testing them as I go. Testing them by just cutting along the lines with my scalpel makes a bit of a nonsense of all the vector precision, but it’s sufficient to show when something’s in the wrong place.
The pages need testing individually and also as a sequence. Once or twice I’ve found neighbouring pages capturing one another’s pleats and pivoting awkwardly, so they need separating out by inserting between them pages with different kinds of pleats. Squabbles.
Each time a page or a page sequence changes, there are changes in both the pencil’s movement ‘narrative’ and the circle’s overall composition. (Both the verb and the noun of ‘writing’?) With the current order I’m happy with the pencil’s movements but when you look at the circle as a whole (especially when you look at it all crisp in a photo) the heights of the cuts and pleats look too uniform. I’m going to take the pages apart again and work out which ones would work at different heights.
Some of these photos look like landscapes with a couple of buildings.
