6 January 2013 - One-Liners

(photo added via Picasa - thanks to advice from Kim Knapp)

Another exercise from Carla Sonheim's book "Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artists".

Exercise No 18 - One- Liners

You draw your subject using only one line from start to finish, if you take your pen/pencil/marker off the paper then your done.

Photo to follow when I work out what the problem is (still no browse box). Maybe I've reached my Google picture gigabites limit? Surely not when they are small file size photos...

18 July 2012 - Hexaflexagon Video

(This video doesn't have sound)

Draw your strip of 9 triangles (with 6o degree corners).

Cut out the strip of 9 triangles

and then fold backwards and forwards

along each of the lines

(so they can bend either way easily).

Then fold up to make the hexagon (as in the video).

Tape the open top edge.

Draw on your designs, turning your hexagon inside-out

to get to the third side (as in the video)
