Tracing paper and a light table enabled us to iterate on Ames&#x27; <i>Draw 50</i> series without the discouragement of drawing a misshapen form at the end of labored steps.<p>Cars, birds, and airplanes fill the transparent sheet, are taped up. I see the Concorde I quit after a first draft; decades later, reappears to me intact (with only some waver of line), colored in, next to passenger airliners and a dozen vehicles.<p>My hope is seeing the final form encourages continued practice, and so far it&#x27;s true. Lines can become confident later. Even architects use projectors, clippings, and other &quot;shortcuts&quot; to fill in the gaps.
