I suggest I could put the coordinate here but then
Wow, what mathematical function did you used to model it?

the top doesnt come to a point..
and the crossbar would look better as a whole row.. imo..
otherwise, it fits my tastes.

also, erasing the cirlces would make it look better.. or at least darken the whole A with ink and not graphite..

I kind of like the circles actually =P
Ink would help though.

i liked seeing the circles as it helped me to see reason and consistency in the curve, but they make it harder to visualize the A/they take away from its thunder.

Very true.
So I suppose it depends on what you're going for...
If it's supposed to be just an A, then erase the circles, but if you want it to be more of a peice of art that has an A in it, leave them =]

the crossbar should be lower. it looks like it's on stilts; or at least platform shoes.

Edit: after some consideration, I think it's just due to thin-ness of the crossbar. maybe as a rule, it shouldn't be the thinnest line of the letter.

Could be doing with losing some weight on the right hand side. Maybe some sort of low carb diet.

I think the bar should be more jerky, to add a representation of individualism to the mix.

I used a bit of math but nothing too complicated.

Holy crap! It's so perfect....

Thanks xD I did color it in! Right after i made it actually.

the top doesnt come to a point..
and the crossbar would look better as a whole row.. imo..

That's the only thing i didn't add. The next one I'm doing is going to have a circle curve on the top to create a curve. I kept the circles to show the artistic process.

It needs more irony.

Z was too hard to draw.

Where's the rest of the alphabet?
A lifetime of work away.

the crossbar should be lower. it looks like it's on stilts; or at least platform shoes.

I understand what you're saying, but I'm looking at Trajan and the crossbar is the thinnest line. If anything my left leg is a bit big.

You shouldn't have used graph paper :P

I tried, but it was too difficult to get the calculations correct.

I should have just drawn an ox.

You could play around with the thickness/resolution of the lines delineating each 'component' - maybe create some type of perspective thereby...?
