How to draw The girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer

GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.
• Locate the head in advance and draw its approximate size using an oval • Draw 1 horizontal line above the head. Above it, draw 1 line equal to half the height of the head. • Draw 1 horizontal line under the head. Below it, add 2 more lines equal to the height of the head. • Separate the head with a vertical line. Draw from them to the sides: -on the left, 1 line equal to the width of the head plus 1 line equal to 2/5 of the widths; -on the right, 2 lines equal to the width of the head.

STEP 1. From the head, draw an auxiliary line in the direction of the body. Draw a figure through it.
