This is a drawing book of drawings.

It includes:1x set of 2 drawings from me.

1x set of 15 instructional drawings. You can either make the drawing, or not make the drawing.

You could use the paper for what ever you like.

I would like to give you the opportunity to work with me, but ultimately itʼs your choice.

I believe that this idea of engagement is a potent and a beautiful notion in art and community generally.

Tools you will need to complete drawings:

1x Pencil

1x compass

1x white pencil/chalk

1x Metric Ruler

1x Sharpener

*In each original, I would start with a sharp pencil and not sharpen it again until the drawing was finished.

Chalk Drawing #1

Divide the page in quarters and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then mark the intersection of those two lines for your center point.

Then draw consecutive circles, at increasing intervals of 2x the width of the media in which you are using. If the mark of a pencil were 1mm then the intervals between

the lines would be 2mm.Chalk 10mm, 20mm gap. Draw the circles from smallest (30mm Diameter) to big-

gest.

Chalk Drawing #2

To start, divide the page in two in a portrait format, halving the top and bottom of the page. Be sure to mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then halve the

page in landscape format to find the center of the page.

Use the marks at the top and bottom of the page in portrait format as centers to draw from.

From these centers draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals of 2x the mark of the media (pencil 1mm, gap 2mm; chalk 10mm, gap 20mm) starting from a circle of 30mm diameter - smallest to the largest the compass will allow towards the center of

the page.

Chalk Drawing #3

Divide the page in half each way and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

At each mid-point of the edge of the page, draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals. The intervals are at a ratio of 1:2; if the mark of a pencil is 1mm then the gap is 2mm. If it is chalk (10mm) then the gap is 20mm. draw the circles form small-

est (30mm diameter) to the largest the compass will allow.

Chalk Drawing #4

To start, divide the page in half in a portrait format. Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

Use one of these marks as your center/starting point.

From this center, draw 99mm diameter circles at intervals of 2x the width of the media you are using (pencil 1mm, 2mm gap; chalk 10mm, 20mm gap) from left to right in landscape format until the circumference of the last circle reaches the edge

of the paper.

Chalk Drawing #5

To start, divide the page in half in a landscape format. Be careful to make the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

Then divide the page in three as to create two vertical dividing bars.Mark the edges of the page with pencil.

Mark the intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines as to create two center points to draw your circles from.

Next, draw a circle of 30mm radius at each of the centers.

At each center, draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals of 2x the width of the media you are using (pencil 1mm, gap 2mm; chalk 10mm, gap 20mm) from smallest to biggest until the largest circle meets with its neighboring 30mm diameter smallest

circle.

Pencil Drawing #1

Start by halving the page in a landscape format; mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

Then divide the page both horizontally and vertically by three, mark the edge of the pages lightly with pencil.

At the intersection of the middle line and the top third of the page is one center for your circles. The other two centers are 99mm from the bottom of the page and

140mm from each side.

From each center draw consecutive circles smallest to biggest at increasing intervals of 2mm, starting from 23mm radius (46mm diameter) until you reach the edge of the

page.

Pencil Drawing #2

To start, divide the page in half in a landscape format. Be careful to make the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

Then divide the page in three as to create two vertical dividing bars.Mark the edges of the page with pencil.

Mark the intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines as to create two center points to draw your circles from.

Next, draw a circle of 30mm radius at each of the centers.

At each center, draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals of 2mm from smallest to biggest until the largest circle meets with its neighboring 30mm diameter smallest

circle.

Pencil Drawing #3

Divide the page in half each way and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

At each mid-point of the edge of the page, draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals of 2mm. From smallest (30mm diameter) to the largest that the compass

will allow.

Pencil Drawing #4

To start, divide the page in half in a portrait format. Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

Use one of these marks as your center /starting point.

From this center, draw 99mm diameter circles at intervals of 2mm from left to right in landscape format until the circumference of the last circle reaches the edge of the

paper.

Drawing Book Instructions #5

To start, divide the page in four in a portrait format. Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then divide the page by six vertically creating 5 horizontal lines.

Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil

Mark the intersection of these lines - lightly with pencil - as center points.

Use one of the mark at the bottom of the page, 74.25mm from the left hand edge as your center /starting point.

From this center, draw 74.25mm diameter circles at intervals of 2mm. draw the cir-cles at continuous intervals up till the center in the top left corner of the page. From this center continue to draw the circles towards the opposing center in the top right hand corner of the page. Then continue the circles from this center back down until

the center of the last circle is on the edge of the page where the circles began.

Pencil Drawing #6

To start, divide the page in four in a portrait format. Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then divide the page by six vertically creating 5 horizontal lines.

Mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil

Mark the intersection of these lines - lightly with pencil - as center points.

Use the mark in the bottom left corner of the page, 74.25mm from the left hand edge and 74.25mm from the bottom of the page as your center /starting point.

From this center, draw 74.25mm diameter circles at intervals of 2mm. draw the cir-cles at continuous intervals up till the center in the top left corner of the page. From this center continue to draw the circles towards the opposing center in the top right hand corner of the page. Then continue the circles from this center back down until the center in the bottom left corner of the page. From this center continue to draw the circles at continuous intervals back towards the center where the circles where

started from to complete the locus of points.

Pencil Drawing #7

Divide the page in quarters and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then mark the intersection of those two lines for your center point.

Then draw consecutive circles, at increasing intervals of 2x the width of the media in which you are using. If the mark of a pencil were 1mm then the intervals between

the lines would be 2mm.Chalk 10mm, 20mm gap. Draw the circles from smallest (30mm Diameter) to big-

gest.

Pencil Drawing #8

Divide the page in quarters and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then mark the intersection of those two lines for your center point.

Then draw consecutive circles, at increasing intervals that are the width of your line from the smallest that the compass will go to the biggest as to draw a solid circle.

Pencil Drawing #9

To start, divide the page in two in a portrait format, halving the top and bottom of the page. Be sure to mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil. Then halve the

page in landscape format to find the center of the page.

Draw diagonal lines from 45mm towards the center of each mid point of the page lightly with pencil.

On those lines, measure increments or 5mm between each point.

Draw circles of 45mm diameter at each point.

Pencil Drawing #10

Divide the page in half each way and mark the edges of the page lightly with pencil.

In portrait orientation, mark the centers of each quarter of the page. (Divide each line by four and use the two middle marks on each line that arenʼt the central inter-

section).

From each point, draw consecutive circles at increasing intervals of 2mm. draw the circles from smallest (30mm diameter) to biggest until the last circle reaches the

edge of the page.
