PREPARE YOUR DRAWING PAPER

Step 1

Determine the final size of your drawing. Here you'll have to do some

quick calculations. Are you doubling the photograph? Quadrupling?

One and a half?

Step 2

Measure and draw out the outer

rectangle /square of your final

drawing. Here I'm making the final
drawing twice as big as my

original 5" x 7" photograph so my

outer box is 10" x 14".

Step 3

Use your ruler to determine the

new size of the grid. If you're
doubling the size of the

photograph and your grid squares

are 1/4" by 1/4", then your new
grid squares will be 1/2" by 1/2".

Since my original grid was 1/2"

boxes, my final grid will be 1"

boxes.
