Pre--planning designs

I remember there being some concern about whether CCJ's favorite
pencil was being discontinued. I couldn't get to an art store in
time for my last gig, but I did stop by the supermarket to get stuff
for signs and saw Crayola brand watercolor pencils. I've tried them
and now I am completely sold.
Some of the Celtic stuff I know by heart and can just whip out, but
the more complex stuff, including anything with interlacing or where
geometry is a factor (ask me how many pentacles I did at Pagan Pride
day...) I have started to plan out with quick pencil strokes and it's
made a huge difference in both the time I take to do a design and as
a result the eventual cost.
I also highly recommend finding and bringing along an Eisenhower
dollar. It's just the right size for so very many circle-based
designs.
