Hi What do you think of projectors for drawing. I have one from Aldis that magnifies but it distorts. What is the best to use in your opinion. Love your lessons from Mary Ann from Queensland Oz.
This video looked very interesting but a little bit into it I developed a severe migraine from the unnatural perspective created by your video angle. I couldn't watch it longer than that. Would you consider changing your set up so the painting/paper is straight on instead of at an angle? I would really like to have viewed the rest of it.
Hello, I liked your method of using the diagonal to establish the size and proportion of the paper. I have used the square grid system but now will use your method in the future. Thank you for this video. I enjoy all of your videos.
@@SamA-xu9gy, Drawing upside forces your brain to draw what it sees, and not what the brain remembers something should look like. Other wise it forces you to draw what you see, and not off of memory.
If you have a difficult picture you can Bisect that grid once again, to give you even more of a layout. :) For example if the upper quadrant with the beak was giving you a headache you could once again draw the X pattern for that quadrant. This grid type allows you to bisect what you need and leave the rest alone saving time :) Great video :D
Yes! I teach art to grown ups that are scared to draw and this grid gives them confidence. And after using it for a time they can draw directly on the page
Great tutorial! I use a light table and put the grid for my drawing underneath my paper so that I don’t have to erase the grid from my drawing paper. I use a piece of transparent drafting film with the grid for the photo and lay it on top of the photo.
Thank you Michele. This is incredibly helpful for me. Another thing I like to incorporate is after I put the reference lines in to scale by ; I like to turn the reference photo and my paper upside-down. That way my brain doesn't interfere with what I think I see but just draw the lines where they actually are. Then I turn everything right-side up again to refine the details after I have the shape blocked in. I'm sure once I get more experience drawing that I will have to do this less as I will have better trained my seeing. If that makes sense. I don't know exactly why this works but it does for me.🥴💜
I believe this upside down trick is used in the book Drawing on the right side of the brain. The reason it works is that it stops you making assumptions about what you see, by reducing the familiarity of the shapes.
it's kinda exactly what she said...That way my brain doesn't interfere with what I think I see but just draw the lines where they actually are. The technique you use also comes from books. It's called diagonal scaling...
I have been using this scaling method since you first introduced it, and it has made a huge difference. It has been especially helpful with the beginner’s drawing course. Traditional grids work fine, but I find this SO much faster and easier. Thank you!
I pride myself in being a trouble shooter, but I never in my wildest dreams thought 💭 to scale up using this method. I am blown away and will certainly use your method. Thank you so very much for making my life easier. This is by far a game changer for me. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊😊😊
One easy way to scale up is to export your image in to a power point presentation. Fit the image to the blank presentation. Then on the powerpoint menu go to insert and click table and add a table. Then scroll on the insert table grid and select the grid type from 2x2, 4x6, 5x8, any you desire. Then spread the created grid to cover the image and you are done. You may need to unfill or make transparent the fill color of the resulting "gridded" image. Then print this image and voila you can start working with scaling up.
I found every minute of this tutorial helpful. I can easily see myself practicing this, and then learning to visualize the grid on anything I want to draw. Thank you!🙏💙🌵
I believe this is the only video of its kind on CZcams! Thank you for posting it. I was having issues sizing my canvas for oil painting but you’ve solved the dilemma!
Hi Michele, your videos are fantastic. I watch lots of similar ones, but I always come back to yours, for they are very clear, well structured, professional, no blah-blah. I am very grateful that you help me and a lot of others too.
absolutely better than grid or loumis for drawing heads. I found my drawings to really match up to the subject SO well. I also use drawing from the right side of the brain, so between that and this system, I have really increased my accuracy.. thank you so much...bob
Love you and your channel Michele. You have given me the inspiration to take up drawing again for the first time since O’level Art at school back in 1976.
Oh, yes. I think that is going to give me a reference without the full grid, which only sometimes helps. I think this also makes me feel study the photo more and decide where the middle of the drawing should be - promotes a stronger composition. Thanks for your hard work on this video.
Yes, I was dreading 'having' to learn how to scale traditionally (math flunkie). This method is as simple as it comes, and gives me confidence in giving scaling a crack with some charcoal I've been dying to use in a specific project on a beginners course. I'd love to see your other methods. Cheers.
Thank you for another excellent video! These are excellent tips. I have also found it really useful to have a proportional divider - sometimes it can be used as the primary tool for getting the proportions exactly right, but more often I just use it to check out the difficult details of any drawing to get it right.
Yes they are a good thing, but I found most of my students got themselves into trouble with the dividers, loose screw usually (the tool not the students!)
Brilliant. I’m definitely going to use this method. Ps. I loved how you used your sewing yard stick. I have one too and I love it when one craft crosses over into another ❤
Lovely , different type of grid placement. So smart. I’ll share it with my granddaughters. I love your informative videos. I took 1 class in watercolor 30 years ago, but I have been away from WC for ages , caring for my handicapped Sweetheart & just able to get back to this medium I love for a few minutes a day during the week. I really have learned so much about watercolor mixing from you, you are a joy to learn from. Clear explanations and demos of aspects I had never been exposed to before….I really appreciate your efforts . Thank you , from Utah , USA. 🤗
Hello. I have been watching your videos with other sites for some time. I have been working/playing in many media for 70 years from age three when manilla paper and crayons were my media. But I have not previously in all the classes, books and videos that I have learned from nothing gave the the huge leap in drawing from an image than your radial grid has given me, it is much easier for my drawn !INE to flow. I think it may just fit my brain better than a chess board grid!!!!! Your site is a pleasure to watch when doing some warm up brush work and often gives me a sense of "use it or lose it !" Kind of thing! Sometimes inspiration requires a kick start from the "teacher relationshp" which first came with actual teaches , And then artist' s books (yeah thriftbooks!) And then CZcams. All good and THANK YOU! DeAnna
Michele, I have never used a grid--I sometimes use a proportional divider to locate key points--but your method is much better than a grid. This is my first time to see your video and it is very instructive and clear.
All serious artist’s need to know how to draw by sight. It is a skill that has to be practiced. But when it comes to getting a painting or drawing started, I have found that, if possible, tracing the prominent edges and contours of whatever it is, will help me get on with the piece. I have spent hours sometimes getting the shape of a nose or mouth placed or sized properly and it’s really frustrating. Thanks for all your help!
Picked this up as a kid. Learned the grid method during middle school. Only difference I got was in the method. Folding a picture/photo to have it fit my small pockets as a child is how it came to me. Now that's much easier but of course messy 😊 Good stuff 👍🏼👍🏼
I love that you know we skip ahead in videos and had a warning there. I didn't this time but was about to (having learned about the scale from you previously). Thanks for all you do.
Thank you, Michelle I found your technique very useful and was especially pleased to learn how to quickly adjust the proportions of the drawing paper to those of the original photo with a simple diagonal line and another perpendicular to the point on the edge where the diagonal intersects it
When I was younger I sketched a lot by eye and usually dogs and birds but I never used a grid. Watching your video has rekindled my sketching interest thank you
This is a really nice use of ratios and so well explained. It does make changing the size when copying an image far more straightforward. A lot quicker than drawing squares.
Dear Michele, Thank you soo much for sharing! This is gold for me and i am happy that i found you! This will definitely help me because i can´t draw well. greetings from the Netherlands
I find it be you guide to o drawing a bird on a branch used by lines drawn onto the printed out picture and more lightly in pencil onto th and paper very useful and instructive and constructive. A very practical guide and I love your presentation and pleasant manner. Thank you so much for teaching me so much over the last few months ❤❤😊
I’ve taught myself the grid style long ago and never knew this style existed. I prefer using the grid only because I’m scaling from 1 inch to 1 foot or bigger. I will definitely give this a try next time I do something smaller. Great video, thanks for teaching me something new.
I just used this method drawing a little boy. I'm always intimidated by the human form. I think it worked really well. Thank you so much! Its so much easier than the grid pattern.
Thank you so much for this clarification! I once was in class where the teacher. mumbled something about making a diagonal line to draw a subject from a photo--- then left the room hastily as she was late for a.cigarette break. You have clear Ed up years of confusion.
Van Gogh used a wooden rectangle with twine strung across it in this diagonal pattern to frame the live scene for getting the initial sketch on the canvas or board, which this vid reminded me of. That's another handy use of the same idea.
Hi Michele, One of the things that hold me back as an artist is the fact I have so much trouble with portions and drawing in general. So glad I found you. Thank you for all your tips and sharing. Sheila.
Thank you for this information. I’ve always struggled with the regular squared off method finding it too pedantic and slow and usually I’ve not got the same proportions . This is going to be so helpful.
Hi - I call myself an "aspiring artist" because I have about a million hobbies and love to dabble in a lot of things. Thus any quick way to get the job done better is for me. Thanks for sharing this great technique. Continued success. Love PegEgg
I'm learning how to sketch for my airbrush work and I find this method the easiest for me. It is less complicated than the regular horizontal and vertical grid. Thanks for sharing your work.
I am a huge fan of the grid method but this technique is so simple, I have to try it! Genius. Thank you, CZcams, for suggesting this video. Subscribed.
Michelle. Thank you so much for this . I used this method today and was amazed at how easy it was to transcribe a picture. Less confusing than the grid method. I am thrilled.
I use the grid system for scaling up and have never tried this method. It may work for a simple photo subjects but it would not work for a complex photo of, say, buildings with lots of small houses that you need to position accurately.
Loved the video. Thanks. I think you gave that little bird a bit of a hooked beak which is great as it is reassuring to see accomplished artists make little mistakes.
Have used the grid method found it really helpful! Hope to use this method for perhaps a horse, but will definitely try as you suggested, a landscape. Thanks
This method looks very helpful. I draw with the grid method I'm going to try this method. I need to improve with my proportions with my landscapes Thank you for sharing this! 👍🙂

To make your brain draw what it sees and not what it knows ( as in a bird here), do the grid as you do it and draw the image upside-down.
Explain more , please
@peterreece2340 That’s clever! Thank you, I will take your advice 😊
It is called drawing with right side of the brain
Yes that's how I was trained to draw in school, upside down!!! draw what you see not what you think you see
@@SamA-xu9gy, Drawing upside forces your brain to draw what it sees, and not what the brain remembers something should look like. Other wise it forces you to draw what you see, and not off of memory.
If you have a difficult picture you can Bisect that grid once again, to give you even more of a layout. :) For example if the upper quadrant with the beak was giving you a headache you could once again draw the X pattern for that quadrant.

Indeed!
Yes! I teach art to grown ups that are scared to draw and this grid gives them confidence. And after using it for a time they can draw directly on the page
This is the best technique to draw from a photo. I'm always amazed how accurate it is.
Glad you think so!
It is a lot faster and more accurate to do a scan it, print it and then use a light table. 🙂
@@bknesheim that’s great if you actually have all the equipment to do so. This technique is available to everyone with paper, picture and pencil🤓
@@bknesheim in that case, you wouldn't be drawing but copying.
@@AnasthassiaMurillo It's a copy anyway, but a trace is a lot less work.
Thank you so much. You British people are intelligent.
Innovative. Thank you.
🙏💚

Have fun!
Thanks More simple but technical videos would be great on You Tube! Thanks again!!
I am blown away by how easy that method looks. I will be trying this. Thank you so much because I suck at drawing.
Loved this method,
I noticed the beak angle could have been a little straighter but your bird was in perfect proportions. THANK YOU
Thank you so much. I really need to learn how to sketch properly.
I used to be a gridder. Thanks you just taught me the proportion method also.
Great to hear!
Thank you, Michelle

Thank you too
I just used this method drawing a little boy. I'm always intimidated by the human form. I think it worked really well. Thank you so much! Its so much easier than the grid pattern.
Welcome 😊
I once enlarged a copy of Escher. Drawing Ĥands print. Employed the grid technique. Fine result. Thanks, Michelle! My
sketches improve.❤
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for this clarification! I once was in class where the teacher. mumbled something about making a diagonal line to draw a subject from a photo--- then left the room hastily as she was late for a.cigarette break. You have clear Ed up years of confusion.
Well I've always said smoking is bad, this proves it!
This video is rather easy, and your explanation was simple to understand.
Such a useful video Michele. Thx as always. 🥰
You are welcome as always :-)
Van Gogh used a wooden rectangle with twine strung across it in this diagonal pattern to frame the live scene for getting the initial sketch on the canvas or board, which this vid reminded me of. That's another handy use of the same idea.
Really? Someone else mentioned van gogh, thanks for sharing!

I've never seen this technique before it's very suitable for this subject, it makes those negative shapes really pop out
Amazing only 3.5k to go M!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much! I struggle with the grid system. This method really lit a light bulb in my mind. I'm looking forward to trying it.

Wow! Another game changer! Took a pic of my dog I was trying to draw before I erased it all to try this. It will be radically better!!! thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much my dear, Acutely it’s like a different kind of grid but much easier.❤
Yes, you are right
Very helpful, thank you Michele ❤
Michelle. Thank you so much for this . I used this method today and was amazed at how easy it was to transcribe a picture. Less confusing than the grid method. I am thrilled.

I use the grid system for scaling up and have never tried this method. It may work for a simple photo subjects but it would not work for a complex photo of, say, buildings with lots of small houses that you need to position accurately.
This is far easier than a vertical/horizontal grid, both to create and use to sketch. Thank you.
Loved the video. Thanks. I think you gave that little bird a bit of a hooked beak which is great as it is reassuring to see accomplished artists make little mistakes.
Yes we do, especially when making videos super fast! In reality the image would be adjusted many times until happy.
Game changer! Thank you.
I never seen this type of grid before. I like the idea I'm going to try it. Thanks for making this video!
No problem!
Mum put me on to this, about to do a local mural and this will be a fine addition to my toolbox! thanks so much.
I am glad I came across this amazing vlog…you made my life sooo easy…thanks a lot ..😊❤❤❤❤
My pleasure 😊
So much simpler than traditional grid! I will try it out with transferring a drawing to canvas. Thank you so much Michele!
