STEP 2.

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.
