by: GrannyHeidi

Thanks so much for the re-usable grid idea. It always seemed to take too long to create the grid to retain the enthusiasm for the particular subject painting. I get carried away, rushing to capture the ambiance of the photo, putting my logical side away, only to see something later that would have been better placed or proportioned, had I used the grid.

I will create a re-usable grid and take away my own excuse for skipping this step.

Thanks for posting this!

by: Carole

The portraits I have drawn to date I have done freehand and they have worked well. However, I had a problem when I was working with a small photograph that needed enlarging. It was quite difficult and I was fed up having to use maths all the time, measuring the difference between features and then timing it 2 or 3 times. I was told by a friend to use a grid, which I did on one occasion and it drove me barmy keep drawing all these squares and I vowed I wouldn't do it again. Anyway, I will give this a go for enlarging purposes and I am sure I will be saying thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you. Your idea gave me the courage to attempt my first pencil sketch, of which I'm extremely proud.
