44: imperfect circles will always outnumber perfect ones

There must be a certain arrogance to drawing a circle. A shape so perfect, drawn by a hand so imperfect.

The first few circles felt odd to draw. Then, I realized that I was drawing the circle counter-clockwise, when I usually go clockwise. It's been so long since I drew a circle, I just wasn't sure.

After 40 or so circles, I realized the pencil strokes were getting thicker as the tip was getting more dull, I re-adjusted the angle and continued.

After 100 or so circles, I started to see a really nice round shape, one that closely resembles the circle that comes to mind when I think about the shape. And at that point, I lost interest in making the idealized circle. I started drawing them more rapidly, more loosely. There can only be one perfect circle, there can be so many imperfect ones.

My journey in documenting projects, ideas, collaborations, creative sketches, and more can be found at a flower is not a flower.
