Artist Drawing Grids
Over the years many lovers of visual arts have used tools to help them draw or paint a particular art subject. One of those tools is a grid pattern that is overlaid on an image that their rendering. Grids help to take an image apart by breaking the image down into smaller size pieces. Grids make it easier to draw or paint a smaller portion of the image first then complete the whole image. You can learn a lot about drawing more realistically or making your drawings appear more like your art subject by using grid drawing patterns, a triangle and ruler. You can begin to understand how negative space plays a part when using your artist visual eye. After a short time you can see how to discern distances between lines, shapes and shadows. You do need to be careful because you could find yourself bonding more closely in your drawing and spending more time on art then other things.  Draw-N-Paint's grids patterns are set up with half inch square patterns. Depending on your computer system this pattern may vary a little in size when you print grid pattern out. You will find a numbering system incorporated on each pattern. In the left most column are alphabetical characters in each square arranged in descending order from top to bottom. The top row of each pattern has numerical characters from least to greatest, left corner to right corner.  Transferring the image is a simple concept where you match the corresponding square to the one on your receiving drawing pattern. Select an alphabetical square for the row from the left column such as in the example to the left which is D. Move right across the row to the selected column which is the number 4 column. Matching the two selections gives you the location square D4 to drawing that part of the image in. There are a number variations of the art subject image on different grid patterns so as to complete each art lesson. The first grid pattern begins with a graphite pencil outline image so that the shape of the art subject can be learn to be rendered proportionately correct. For the shading portion of the art lesson a second grid pattern is in a gray scale or black and white format to help understand the shadows and contrasts. When the oil painting begins another full color image of the art subject grid pattern so you can see colors. |
