For
all my drawings, I use a mechanical pencil 0.5
or 0.7 filled with 2B lead (this eliminates
the need for constant sharpening) an assortment
of erasers including a putty rubber and a large
soft brush to wipe away any erasure debris.
For blending and pulling out the colour I use
soft tissue paper and rolled paper
tortillons.
The first thing we have to do is transfer the
basic information from the photograph to the
drawing paper, this is done by "gridding
up", a network of accurately drawn squares either
drawn directly onto the photograph or, as I
do, a clear acetate with the grid drawn on,
laid over and secured, to prevent moving. |

This
grid now has to be repeated, very lightly and
very carefully, on the drawing paper. This grid
will be erased so it's best to draw only the
squares we actually need, in this case 12 across
by 20 down. Place the grid centrally on the
page. At this stage we can also decide on the
scale we wish to reproduce the image, by enlarging
the size of the grid, we can enlarge the size
of the finished drawing. |
