PENCIL, SLIDE, PIVOT, DRAW...
Be ready to create curves using only straight lines!
This Website will help you see what you will be creating this week!
Step One
Draw 2 line segments, (looking like you might create a graph), then mark of equal segments on each LEG of your right angle. I suggest one centimeter apart.
Step Two
Notice how you use the ruler to connect the furthest to the closest point? If you are right handed, hold the ruler in your left hand, never cross over, and use the PENCIL, SLIDE, PIVOT and DRAW to make your lines nice and neat!
Keep Going....
Take your time!
Looking Good!
Wow! This is a detailed one!
Look, you can try different angles!
