Drawing a grid over your reference image, then making a grid on your paper with an equal ratio. By breaking down your subject into a series of tiny squares, the grid method allows you to produce an accurate outline of your subject.

Thanks for your question. No, if it accidentally gets smeared onto it I just use the eraser to clean it. I hope that makes sense. 👍

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I start with the initial sketch and work my way down section by section. It’s just a personal preference. I also like to work in this way as it helps prevent smudging.
