Square-by-Square Drawing

The video tutorial explains how to transfer and enlarge an image using a grid method. The original image is divided into a 1/2 inch grid, while the new surface uses a 1-inch grid, effectively doubling the size. The process involves transferring details square by square, starting from the top and working downwards, while considering handedness to avoid smudging. The tutorial emphasizes lightly drawing contour lines and using reference points to align facial features accurately. Once the transfer is complete, the focus shifts to studying and replicating the values and colors on the new surface.

What is the purpose of using a grid when transferring an image to a new surface?

• To make the image more detailed

• To change the orientation of the image

• To ensure accurate enlargement and placement

• To add color to the image

Why is it recommended to draw lightly when transferring the image?

• To save pencil lead

• To make it easier to erase and adjust

• To prevent the paper from tearing

• To create a darker image

What is the benefit of visualizing and splitting the original square in half or quarters?

• To make the drawing process faster

• To better understand where to draw details

• To create a more abstract image

• To reduce the size of the image

How can you ensure that features are correctly aligned when transferring an image?

• By comparing the position of features relative to each other

• By using a ruler to measure distances

• By using a different grid size for each feature

• By drawing freehand without any guidelines

What is the next step after transferring all the information from the original portrait?

• Drawing additional features

• Framing the portrait
