GRID TECHNIQUE

1. Use a ruler to grid LIGHTLY on your drawing paper. Be sure to use the same dimensions as your photo copy. DO NOT ENLARGE
2. Use the small viewfinder and draw only one block at a time, moving left to right, until the subject is finished.
3. Remember to use relationships to the wall of each square when drawing to ensure the line will match the bordering squares.
