Portraiture using the Grid Method

This is a step by step guide/handout for teachers and students on how to draw a portrait using the grid method. This method can apply to any object students are working from. I created and used this handout for my Y12 Fine Art students. It was a success and something students referred to regularly.

This technique is not as easy as it may seem, and although it is not as demanding as drawing from observation, this technique still challenges students to improve hand eye coordination, and teaches them a way to draw proportionately.
