Retest a recurring spacing error
Whengaps or overlaps keep looking misplaced
Investigate one repeating gap, alignment or overlap error with a baseline and a later retest.
- Steps
- Keep a baseline drawing and note its arrangement and seat. Name one misplaced gap, edge or overlap.
- Choose a check: draw the gap first, align two points or stop a hidden edge. Use it in two later normal drawings.
- Recreate and redraw the baseline arrangement. Compare the same relationship with life: misplaced, closer or unclear. Keep or change the check.

Mastery: Inspect your work, apply a specific correction in later practice and check whether it helped.
