I just get more confused as to how i should start. I cent really begin to make a mental woulkthrough list of the drawing. Also do you know why it just says (R) on the right 'sunglas' as a radius indication? Not to ask of you but could you go more in depth of how you would do it? I'am getting more and more frustrated..
