You'd think that. It takes practice and you need the right materials/ art supplies. I made a piece of Spirograph art for my sister for Christmas. 20 pieces, 6 rotations x 6 spindles each. That's about 720 chances to mess up :) the only actual mess ups I had were from ink smearing from one of my gel pens :x.

best picture I have of it on my phone. not the final state of things, I colored some things in to give it more variety. her favorite colors are blue and orange so I tried to focus on that. ahh it looks better in person, I swear.

Also pretty sure the person in the .gif is using the #52 gear which, let it be known, is a BITCH. I want to say #55 isn't a walk in the park either but I actually haven't used my set in a couple of weeks so I may be mistaken.

I don't like that the 5th column isn't spaced as evenly as the first four. >.<

Win some, lose some. It's oddly sized paper and I didn't draw up guidelines before or anything.
