Since ancient times of Egyptians,artists have using the grid method as a drawing tool to improve accuracy. They used this method by dipping a string in red dye,and placing it against the drawing surfaces.
Grid drawing is a drawing technique,that will help you to improve your accuracy, without dealing with the development of your freehand drawing.
The grid drawing basically starts with, placing a grid over the reference picture and the canvas you uses to draw,then using the grids to guide with the placement of your drawing.
In ancient times,many of the artists considered the use of the grid method for drawing as a secret. Leonardo da Vinci was just one of the many artists of his time.
* MERITS.
Enchance self confidence.
The grid drawing, enchance the self confidence.when ever we started to study something,the confidence we gain at the beginning,which will motivate us to study beyond limits. Grid drawing is a best method for the beginners and even the one who don't have a skill can even draw the better portraits and landscapes.
The good artistic skills,develops only by practice. But by using grid method ,the one can develop his/her skills gradually.
Effective hyper-realistic artworks.
By using grid method,we are abel to draw a realistic pictures or some what more detailed that the original or reference picture.
In free- hand drawing we consider the whole picture for the drawing. But if we are using the grid method,we are using the grid method,we are considering ,each sequence boxes one-by-one. Which enables us to observe each details in the particular reference in the boxes,. Which will turn our picture into a realistic one.
TIP:
IF you are a right-hander ,for finishing the art work,keep this order: top-left to bottom-right.
Yes of course,the grid drawing method improves your patience and observation skill.the basic thing,that needs for an artist is patience and a great observation skill.
If we are of enough patience,we can turn our art work in to a it's highest effort.
Observation and patience are 2 sides of a coin. How much the patience is important,that much the observation is important too.
The one who have a good observation skill can draw from his imagination.
You all have seen,the shutters,wall of shops and other buildings,painted with some landscapes or portraits.that doesn't mean that the artists used to paint that have a large reference picture as that of the shutters or walls.
The method used by them is the grid method.they may have a small reference picture,they put grids in that and when they used to draw it in the large canvas,they just enlarge or resize the grids and used to draw.
The main highlight of this grid method is,we can resize the reference picture as we required.
Even though,the grid drawing has this much benifits, artists does not support the grid method for drawings.
*DEMERITS.
Reduce flexibility of hands.
In grid drawing,we are just using our wrist joints movements for drawing. But in free hand drawing,we are using our 3 main joint movements ie,wrist, elbow, shoulder joints.which will make us more flexible.
Difficulty in real life drawing.
Suppose,you are getting a chance to draw by looking at a real reference object,that's in front of you.if you have practiced by grid method,then there you will face difficulty, because we can't put grids on the real life objects.
In grid drawing we are just considering,a normal view or a 2- Dimensional view of a reference object,where we only calculate the length and breadth.but in free hand drawing,you are able to draw the the normal, 2- Dimensional and also the 3- dimensional views.
Reduce memory power.
The grid drawing, reduces your memory power, suppose when we are drawing a portrait of men,we first take a look at him,then we sketch them,but the reference is a human being,they can change there pose with in no time.. which will be a great menace.but in free hand drawing..we first take a shot on them by our eyes and store them in Oru memory and even though if the one changes his pose ,the artists never mind,they just draw from there memory and imagination.
Disinterest to learn more.
When we are using the grid method,we may draw the exact one at the first attempt its self.then we will gain a confidence gradually turns to over confidence,which mislead them to think that ..they had studied every thing in the drawing,they no need to study further.but in free hand drawing,we gain more interest in learning more on drawings..how much we draw,we gain that much knowledge in drawing.
The only way to come back from grid-drawing to free hand drawing,just minimize the number of grids gradually.
Hope you all have liked it.stay tune for new contents.
Stay creative;explore more.
