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.
