Fileteado Update

The posts that update you on my Fileteado efforts are always popular, so here’s the scoop on my dragon. I posted the first pencil drawing on paper a couple of weeks ago.

First, I had to redraw the whole thing, freehand, but this time onto tracing paper—I posted that one a couple of weeks ago here. Next, I used a stick of white chalk to rub over the whole thing. Third, I turned it face down onto the board (already painted black by the teacher). Then I drew over the outline in pencil, which is what you see here.

And when I took the tracing paper off, this is what was on the board! So, using this powdery outline, next week I will begin the painting.

I love dragons, and I’m really enjoying doing this one. I think I’ve decided on the colour, but you’ll have to wait till my next update to see what it is!

  1. Beautiful. Do you worry about smudged or accidentally erased chalk lines? We should have a pool to see if we pick the colour you hav in mind.
