Hi everyone, and welcome! If you're just starting out with drawing and you want to copy something exactly — whether you make it bigger, smaller, or the same size — the grid method is one of the easiest and most helpful tricks you can learn.
This technique breaks your reference photo into small squares. Then you do the same on your blank paper. By focusing on just one square at a time, you can get the proportions correct and copy shapes accurately without guessing.
It's great for beginners because it trains your eye to see sizes and relationships correctly — and the results look way more realistic right from the start!
