Scaling Up

Time to scale up the 8” drawings of the Tool Belt to the full 12” to put on the tiles. Here’s how it goes. Redraw the images at 12”, making any changes I decided to make from the 8” sketch, for one half of the image. Trace the image on tracing paper, then transfer to the other half with graphite paper. Go over it all with India ink and a brush. Next step: trace this onto acetate or mylar to make the stencil for the screens. I’ll probably also color these drawings in for a guide when I’m painting them. I could have had decals made of these, or I could have them printed on acetate at a print show (although there are problems with either of those) but this is about HAND work. Besides, I love this process.
