Drawing Radiating Lines
As you look at your drawing you see a spiral and the outer edges of the paper that have no lines drawn in yet (refer to figures C and D). The lines outside the spiral will now be added to complete the drawing. Important: Never draw the radiating line through the spiral, always skip over the spiral.

7. To draw the radiating spiral lines, place your ruler on the center dot and on any corner of the paper (figure F).

8. Draw the line, using your Sharpie, from the center to the spiral, stop, skip over the spiral and continue the drawing line on the other side of the spiral until it meets the spiral again, stop, skip the spiral again and continue the line out to the corner (figure G).

9. Count over two sections and draw the next radiating line from the center to the edge.

10. Continue until all the radiating lines are drawn. You now have a complete pattern.
