Drawing Notes:

Our wishing well has a crank on the right side of the drawing which is connected to the bucket. At the bottom is the pool of water.

Fun Facts:

The wishing well comes from European folklore. People spoke wishes into these wells believing that the water gods would work their magic.

In the United States, people throw coins into these wells and make their wishes.

In Italy, they do the same thing except that the coin has to be thrown over the shoulder.

Bus

Design is 5 Rows, 19 cells.

Note: Full size picture is the last full page of this document.

Begin design:

Row 1: space 3 times, dot 6, hyphen [36] fourteen times, dot 3.

Row 2: space 3 times, AR [345], full cell 14 times, WH [156].

Row 3: OW [246], P [1234], C [14], space 15 times, dots 456.

Row 4: space 1 time, V [1236], IN [35], colon [25], EN [26], hyphen [36] ten times, IN [35], colon [25], EN [26], dots 3456.

Row 5: space 2 times, E [15], hyphen [36], I [24], space 10 times, E [15], hyphen [36], I [24].

End design.

Marie’s drawing notes:

Row 1: This forms the top of the bus.

Row 2: This line forms the windshield, fourteen windows, and begins to draw the back end of the bus.

Row 3: This forms the lights, the nose of the bus, the body and more of the back.

Row 4: This finishes the front of the bus, the upper part of the front wheel, the bottom of the bus, the upper part of the back wheel and the back of the bus.

Row 5: Space twice and write e-i space ten and write e-i for the back wheel.

The bus is complete.

Drawing the bus employs some mirroring, but it depends more upon proportion, perspective, and attention to detail. The front of the bus is not the same as the back. This is a side view and the difference must be worked out so that the picture will be recognizable. This kind of drawing takes more skill and perception in seeing and doing.

Drawing Note:

Row 5 has been corrected.

We offer several hundred free patterns.
