Christmas Design 4 - Pencil


Draw on the lines as illustrated in the diagram with a pencil. Draw these lines very lightly, and they will not show up in the final design.

Front (1): Divide the egg into sixteenths. You start by drawing one long line around the longest part of the egg, until it meets up with itself. Next, draw a long line at a right angle to this one, until it meets up with itself. At this point, the egg should have a cross at the top and bottom of the egg. Next, draw one line around the middle of the egg. Now the egg is divided into 8 equal sized parts. Divide each of these sections in half with a 45 degree line, as shown. Now the egg is divided into sixteenths.



Side (1): Draw two parallel lines on each side of the vertical dividing line, as shown.



Side (2): Draw the additional parallel vertical lines as shown. Also, straighten out the horizontal dividing lines (the other ends of the 45 degree lines drawn on the front).

When you have drawn all the lines in pencil that you wish to, go ahead to White.
