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.1) At the top of the sheet, determine the location of the head and draw its conditional size using an oval. 2) Draw a vertical line through the middle of the head. This will be the central vertical line of the drawing. 3) From the upper border of the head, mark a segment equal to half the height of the head. This will be the upper boundary of the figure. 4) From the top of the head, draw downward seven segments equal to the height of the head and one segment equal to half the height of the head. 5) From the central vertical line of the figure, measure and draw: • Two segments equal to the width of the head – to the left of the line. • One segment equal to half the width of the head – to the left of the line. • One segment equal to the width of the head – to the right of the line. Through the boundaries of the segments we draw vertical lines. The extreme left and right segments are the vertical boundaries of the drawing.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Define Kakashi’s general proportions. Draw his head and a line through the figure.

STEP 6. Add more detail to the clothes. Draw toes and hair.

STEP 7. Work on the figure, paying special attention to detail.
