Maybe in drawing there is nothing easier than draw using a grid method. Even if you trace any picture it may not look alike. But the advantage of grid method is that you can imagine the distances using grid lines and reproduce them by using your own brain. Though this is really very easy but not everybody can do it properly. So, for them we’ve come up with some tips to improve their drawing skill while using grid method. Hopefully, this article will help you a lot in this regard. Let’s get started.
Preparing Image The first step for starting drawing with grid method is to prepare the original image. Choose a large and clear image and print it out. Then choose your grid size. It must not be too small or too large. So, take an average measurement. Again remember that not use too much small grid lines then your picture will be confusing. However, now draw grid lines over the printed out photograph using a sharp pencil or marker. Use black pen for lighter colored images and obviously use white pen for dark toned photos. The lines must need to be straight and fine. You can draw the grid lines using a scale to make them perfectly straight. And make a center point for drawing the whole image, which will work as a reference point. Gridding the Art Paper Now it’s time for gridding the paper that you are going to use for your drawing. Here you have to also use the same grid measurement. You can also make differences but when you’ll make different grid lines then the picture will be harder to draw. So, it’s always easier and better to use same size of grids in the both picture. Without wasting much time use a sharp pen or pencil draw grid lines on the blank paper. Now start drawing from the reference lines and be careful about one thing is that the reference points must need to look dark from other lines. By remembering one thing your task will be easier than before. While drawing compare the grids with original image and see how the lines are crossing the grids and which lines are crossing which grids. For eliminating confusion you can use numbering method or can also use color-coding in the grids. Always think that how you can make your task easier. Start Drawing First you’ve to draw the outlines of the main parts or key parts. Then you have to dark the line colors. And after drawing all the details you’ll get a perfect picture. After outlining all the details now it’s time to remove the gridded lines. Take a sharp eraser and carefully erase all the grid lines. Then again draw the erased part properly using free hand method. After erasing all the lines you can start shading your image or coloring whatever you want. See, how easily you’ve got a professional like artwork. Hopefully, from now on you won’t face any difficulties using grid method for drawing.
