Introduction
Grid drawing is a means to an end. In other words, you should have an idea of the artwork that you want to create and then make a grid drawing. For example, in my pastel lessons I am making a pastel picture of the concept of "Innocent". So, I did a thumbnail sketch for it (shown below):
I went on Pinterest and searched for images that are similar to my thumbnails sketch. For example, I looked on Pinterest for a girl holding a teddy bear. Instead of finding a girl with a teddy bear, I found a girl holding a cloth doll.
I only wanted her head and shoulders in my thumbnail, with the doll/teddy bear being larger. I used Photoshop to zoom into the girl and to put a grid onto the picture.
I used this grid picture of the girl and make a grid on a 15"x22" watercolor paper.
