Gerhard Mayer works within seven rules for his drawings. Those being:
1. Each drawing can only be made with one and the same ellipse size.
2. The ellipses must always be aligned horizontally.
3. The ellipses must not extend beyond the edge of the paper.
4. A complete ellipse must not be drawn.
5. At least three lines should be created in each position of the elliptical stencil, or more.
6. None of the lines should touch or intersect.
7. Points may not arise, only lines.
