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.
• Draw the upper border of your drawing.
• From the upper border of the drawing, moving downward, tentatively determine the position of the head and draw an oval to represent its size.
• Draw a vertical line through the middle of the head. This will be the central vertical line of the figure.
• From the upper border of the figure, draw 4 identical segments equal to the height of the head, plus one segment equal to 2/3 of the height of the head. The lines will radiate from the central line to the left and to the right. The last segment will
act as the lower boundary of the future drawing. Through the boundaries of the segments, draw horizontal lines.
• From the central vertical line of the figure, measure and draw:
to the left of the line, 4 segments that are equal to the width of the head, and a fifth segment equal to 2/3 of the width of the head;
to the right of the centre line, draw 2 segments equal to the width of the head, plus a third line that is equal to 1/2 of the width of the head.
• Draw vertical lines through the boundaries of the segments.
The extreme left and right segments will act as the vertical boundaries of your drawing.
