Print the grid and one of the following pictures:

More advanced images (extra credit):

Use the grid to copy and enlarge a image. Grid drawing is a very old technique of transfering images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)

Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same.

If the dimentions of the paper do not quite match the dimentions of the picture - cut the paper....

Work with one square at a time.

Copy everything you see. Forget the big picture. Just copy all the shapes that you see (even the blurred ones).

First - mark the points where the shapes cross the grid lines. Think: "...this line crosses the grid about 1/3 of the square, or it crosses it right in the middle..."

Next - connect these marks. Make sure the shapes match.

Do not shade. Use only light fine pencil lines.

Add as many details as possible. No rush!

Once you are done with one square - move to the next one.

Keep drawing.

 

 

When you are done - time for shading.

Always start with rthe darkest values, then - midvalues. Leave the light values to the very end.
