This is still a rough draft and I'm not sure what to do with "also" in the last sentence. I've got three terms in the same sentence as aufzirkeln that I can't figure out - I'll post 2 more questions for those.
In einem weiteren Schritt sind die Figuren herausgearbeitet worden. Nach Selektion der entsprechenden fotografischen Vorlage wird das Bild auf Papier *aufgezirkelt*. Die Papierbahnen stifteln wir mittels Tapeziernägel an die Wand. Wir zeichnen also vertikal.
