The Circle template

Designing from Different Shapes - The Circle template - The Round circle, the Square shape and the Triangle


This next series is based on 3 objects that when you look around you everything is basically in these 3 shapes or variations of them these shapes are:   The Round circle, the Square shape and the Triangle.
Note that the shapes can be of different sizes and are very simple.

The Round circle, the Square shape and the Triangle

This for me is almost divine. Being a Believer in a creator and learning about the Trinity at a very early age it seems that the creator got a lot of mileage out of these 3 shapes.

Lets expand on these now.
We will start with simple pencil drawings and how I lay them out. Now the first photo of this drawing was done with a circle template. ( Today I forgot my glasses and will try to cover this short subject as best I can somewhat short on my vision.) lets start Below is the photo using a Timely Number T-89M.
Vision wasn't to important using this template. Now let's try it a different way.

Timely Number T-89M - circle templates, tools to aids with the design

*** It is very important to have your pencil tip very sharp to draw


Imagine you have no template and you want to make a perfect circle what would you do?
He is my approach to this problem.
I'll try to photograph it step by step.
First I am folding a piece of tracing paper into 8ths and then I will do 16ths.
Folding tracing paper to create the guidelines
Above have you noticed the dots on the tracing paper these were placed on each fold as I added addition folded. The diameter of your circle can be at random or if you happen to have a ruler as I had you can Sellect the diameter you want let's use 40 mm. (40 millimeters).



Making the circle without the circle templates.

Now let's start the process of doing a circle with making an error.

1 ) Using the smallest division of the segment folds draw a slight arc.
2 ) Then simply by folding and rubbing off the paper with burnishing tool or Burnish with your finger nail VDO here
3 ) The line you placed on the paper you will have doubled that line and now 1/8 of the circle is complete after you go over the line with your pencil.
4 ) Now you have doubled the line. Fold again and repeat the same process and complete the circle.



By the way, I have used my fingernail to transfer the image from one section of the tracing paper to the next section when  fold the tracing paper.



Now below you see the perfect circle drawn by hand with any compass or circle temple being used from beginning to end. Only the brain, eye and hand using common sense. Oh! Yes, and tracing paper.
We can talk about transferring images using this method later in the tutorial.
Have fun and you will be surprised at what you can do.

Now we move on to how to make the shape in the design.

Working with Lord Jasper May

Lord Jasper and I are here talking about the market that he is working in and that market is very conservative. The simplicity of lines is very important because the English client is not apt to be very dynamic. It doesn’t mean that they are out od step with the world but actually prefer that the do their own thing. So needless to say we try to keep it on track and below are a few examples of that conservative styling. Please take the time to listen to Lord Jasper and I as we chat about what we do and how it works.
