gridpaper

Artists often use grid paper as a foundational tool for creating precise and proportionate artworks. This technique, known as gridding, involves overlaying a grid on a reference image and reproducing it on a blank grid on their drawing surface. By breaking the image into smaller sections, artists can accurately capture details and maintain correct proportions. Grid paper is especially useful for large-scale pieces, ensuring each segment aligns perfectly. This method not only hones technical skills but also allows artists to focus on individual components of the composition, enhancing the overall quality and coherence of their work.
