I noticed your touching your paper, does smooth bristol paper show oil from your fingers when you apply graphite or charcoal where you touched thr paper?
The main problem i’ve had with the grid method is it still being visible in the lightest areas of my portraits lol it then becomes a camouflaging mission
@@ZacharyWyland-art - i’ll have to give that a try, thanks. I don’t know if you’re looking for suggestions for videos but a tutorial detailing how to transition from very dark values to light values in a small distance is a subject that i’ve not seen many channels cover. An example of what i mean would be a shadow caused by the fringe of long hair over the edge of the forehead transitioning to light values where light is hitting the forehead just outside of the shadow, i hope that makes sense lol keep up the great work
so you can tape it to the table.. and cut it when the drawing is done. if you don't tape it to a table, sliding the paper around while "cut to size" will only mess up the edges, you'll have more options with framing the piece when finished if you have extra space outside the drawing. many many reasons as to why it's important
I came across your channel today. Your tutorials are awesome. THANK YOU
Omg! Thank you so much! It’s really helpful. I had always struggled with measuring and “organizing”my drawing and this is just fantastic!
Thanks for this good explanation 🙏

What size is the grid?

Faber Castell dust free eraser! gets rid of it right away as long as you pressed light enough. that’s why I really emphasize that part

What about Android users
Ditto
Thanks but there's a simpler way
You talk really fast, was having a hard time
Why wouldn't you cut the paper to size first, then draw the grid?
Makes way more sense.
so you can tape it to the table.. and cut it when the drawing is done.
if you don't tape it to a table,
sliding the paper around while "cut to size" will only mess up the edges,
you'll have more options with framing the piece when finished if you have extra space outside the drawing.
