Small Circle, Small Circle, Big Circle

Aside from the straight lines, I also thoroughly enjoyed drawing the spheres. 



I was quite impressed when I was able to get some texture in the Advanced Level Spheres lesson. I never imagined that a bunch of spiky and squiggly lines could provide such effects.


When we were small, we would draw those koala bears using the song, 'small circle, small circle, big circle (that would make the face of the bear where the small circles were the eyes and the big circle going around the two small circles made the face), six times six, six times six ... thirty six (that would make the arms and then legs of the bear where the first two sixes made the arms and the last two would make the legs)'.  It didn't make for a very impressive bear, but it did remind you what six times six was equal to (plus it got a big laugh from Ardi when I showed him the bear that came with the "song").  

Below is the koala from Lesson 8.  I surprised myself.  I think I've come a long way from the small circle, small circle, big circle bear.
