Grid Drawing

This beginner drawing guide will give you a jump-start to your realistic drawing skills.

Drawing grids have been used over the centuries by master-artists as celebrated as da Vinci, Vermeer or Van Gogh, to enlarge, reduce or alter their work. They are also terrific for beginners to drawing, as they help place line and develop an understanding of the picture plane immediately. Little-used today, they are nevertheless an invaluable tool in beginning to learn to draw - so you can either draw copies of photographs or work from life with your friends or family posing for you.

Every method for the different types of grids is illustrated and explained step by step.
