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 2 horizontal lines: -1 line above the head; -1 line under the head. • Draw 3 more lines down at the same distance plus 1 edge line 1/3 closer. • At the top, draw the top-most line at a distance equal to 1/3 of the height of the head. • Draw 6 lines to the left at a distance equal to the width of the head and 1 line half as close. • Add 1 line to the right at a distance equal to the width of the head and 1 line half as close. The left and rightmost lines are the vertical boundaries of your drawing.
