I don't own a compass and didn't want to scrounge around my house for circular objects to trace every day, so I printed out a children's craft worksheet with lots of circles. The activity is fun and if I have a few minutes I need to kill in the day I fill out a couple of circles. I'm trying to rotate the page as little as possible and I think you can tell my stronger angles from my weaker ones.

Hi Marshall!! I wanted to draw this figure 8 shape. The first image is my rough sketch, I left some of my guidelines in the first version of the shape. This one is basically two squares with holes punched in them. The second version has the vertical line impossibly passing behind the horizontal line - it looks more like a figure 8. The external lines of the two shapes are exactly the same.

Your breakdown really made me appreciate this image. At a glance it looks like it's entirely organic in nature, but at a closer look it's very carefully structured in ways I never even imagined.
