Fig. LN-001 · A sheet of pencil sketches of the winking sloth face, with arrows and the note final shape.

It started on paper. The sheet shows the same face drawn again and again, each one a little different from the last.

In the margin there is a question: wink?. The wink stayed. It gives the symbol the look of someone who knows something and is in no hurry to say it.

Below, the S moves from 2D to 3D. The drawing was already thinking in volume before there was a file to print.
