Of course this is the process they use for the pictograms at the Olympics etcetera... I would love to study graphic design! (maybe someday, when I have finished my PhD...)
I have also started on the Sketchbook Challenge for January - the theme is Highly Prized. I will show you some of my drawings soon.
