Drawing Instruction Guide: The Grid Drawing Method

As you browse through the images, you’ll notice that each one is paired with a grid drawing guide. This guide is designed to help you accurately replicate the drawings using the grid drawing method.

Grid Drawing Method

The grid drawing method (full tutorial here) is a technique that artists use to transfer or enlarge an image by breaking it down into smaller, manageable sections. Here’s how it works:

1. A grid is placed over the reference image and another grid of equal ratio is drawn on your drawing paper.
2. By focusing on one square at a time, you can draw what you see in each corresponding square.
3. This method helps maintain proportions and allows for more precise and detailed drawings.

To make your drawing process even easier, you can get the printable drawing grids by clicking “Open Printable Grids” under each image. These grids will guide you step by step, making it simpler to draw each picture with confidence and accuracy.

This way, artists of any age and skill level can get involved!
