I would like to add a post script to my earlier post. Which in fact is all twaddle.
I started drawing this morning, bold with my new found freedom and things started OK, but I realised that when it came to making the cartoon for this mosaic it was enlargement by the grid system only that would transfere it. Which is OK but I felt it could be so much easier.
I needed a scafolding under this, drawing, a structure, formula, and familiarity in pattern making. It needed reliable easily created reference points not guessed ones which become distorted through some kind of transcribing process.
I abandoned my squares, twisting and stretching them was way too complicated and started a new drawing.
I drew a circle without really thinking about it and projected a couple points using a set squares and intuativley felt that my worries were over, the relationship between the inner design and outer design was going to be easily generated.
I put on a CD called ‘trance anthems’ and it all came together silky smooth.
Circles… I recomend them they are the answer to all things!.
