A wheel window turns out from a small round hub at the dead center of this page. The hub is a plain ring, and from it a dense inner ring of narrow wedge lights radiates outward. Those inner wedges stop at a circular band, and beyond it a second ring of broader, longer lights continues to the rim, so the design steps outward in two clear stages.
A wide plain band closes the window between two heavy circles, and the whole thing is drawn with a slightly uneven hand, which keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The structure hands you several color schemes without any planning. Run a single hue round the wheel and vary only its value and the window will look lit from one side. Alternate two colors wedge by wedge and you get a spoked, radial pattern. Treat the inner ring as one unit and the outer as another, and the two stages separate cleanly.
The wedges are narrow near the hub and widen as they go out, so work from the middle outward while your hand is steady.
Leave the outer band pale and the window will seem to glow against it. A fine nib near the hub, markers for the outer lights. Roughly thirty minutes.
