pencil lines (less than 5%) were scanned.

„My Sentimental Robot“ is based on contour drawing from the
early 70’s. The old paper and the few existing lines were
scanned and I consciously kept parts of these lines, because to
“depict” reality, outer or inner, is of no interest to me. I never
contemplated for example to take these lines away in order to
perfect the 3D impression of the head. The charm lies in the
fact of being able to show all of this, even those spontaneous
and raw pencil lines and still a creature in its own right presents
itself.
