How to draw American Gothic by Grant Wood
How to draw American Gothic by Grant Wood
step-1
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 2 heads in advance and draw their approximate size using ovals. The oval on the right should be larger. • Divide the larger head in half with the centre horizontal line. Draw 1 more segment above this head. At the same distance, add a marginal top line. • Under the centre horizontal line add 5 more at the same distance. At 1/9 of this distance, add the bottom-most line. • Draw 2 vertical lines through the centres of the heads. These will be the centre vertical lines. • Between the centre vertical lines, add 2 vertical lines at the same distance. From the right centre line, draw 2 more lines, keeping the same distance. From the left centre line, draw 2 lines: - 1 line at the same distance; - 1 line at half the distance. The left and rightmost lines are the vertical boundaries of your drawing.
