Grids are a tool that
Grids are a tool that artists use to replicate or enlarge images onto paper, canvas, and other drawing surfaces. In this tutorial I will show you how to use a grid to draw and enlarge an image onto another paper. I am using a photo I took of the Taj Mahal as my example. You can use any image you would like, the technique is the same. This technique is great for transferring images onto canvas for painting as well as for painting large scale murals. Enjoy!
Supplies
Image printed on printer paper
Paper or canvas
Ruler
Pencil and eraser
Steps
Draw the grid on your image (or on a piece of clear acetate and place over the image, or use a computer to place a grid on the image before you print it)
Draw a grid on the surface you are transferring the image to making sure it is to scale
Transfer the drawing in pencil square by square
Erase the grid
Add details, shadows, etc.
Tips
Keep the grid square
Draw the grid lightly since it will be erased
Dont draw too many details before the grid is erased
If doing this project with a group, its easy to make the grid in photoshop and place it over the photos before you print them. I did this with my high school class with their portraits and just placed a thin white grid over them in photo shop and printed them out.
