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.• At the top of the sheet, determine the location of the head and draw its approximate size, using an oval. • Draw a vertical line through the middle of the head. This will be the central vertical line of the drawing. • From the upper border of the head, moving upward, mark one segment equal to the height of the head. This will be the upper boundary of the figure. • From the upper border of the head, moving downward, mark 5 segments equal to the height of the head, and one segment equal to 2/3 of the height of the head. Through the boundaries of the segments, draw horizontal lines. The last segment will act as the lower boundary of the future drawing. • From the central vertical line of the figure, measure and draw: - to the left of the line, one segment equal to the width of the head, plus one segment equal to 1/3 of the width of the head; - to the right of the line, one segment equal to the width of the head, plus one segment 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 are the vertical boundaries of our drawing.
