BRAND NEW SERIES drawing using grids

This traditional grid technique simplifies the drawing process. From world-renowned ar st Giovanni Civardi, this highly prac cal series uses the tradi onal grid technique to make the drawing process both simple and accessible. Star ng from a photograph, Civardi shows you how to create an accurate pencil sketch of the subject by overlaying a grid and transferring the image one square at a me. The sketch is then rendered in easy stages to create a finished drawing. Even the most complex of subjects can be broken down into easy steps using this method, and by studying Civardi’s step-by-step exercises the reader will very soon be producing highly detailed drawings based on photographs of their own.
