About this app

Grid Drawing is an art and illustration technique that involves Drawing a Grid over your Reference Photo and then creating a Grid of the same ratio on your work surface like wood, paper or canvas. The artist then draws the image on the work surface, focusing on one square at a time, until the entire image has been transferred or reproduced.

Grid Drawing technique provides a practical and efficient approach to improving the drawing skills and artistic abilities of an Artist, by making certain that the recreated image is accurate and proportional. This method of Drawing serves as an indispensable learning tool in the life of an artist.

The benefits of using the Grid Drawing technique include proportional accuracy, scale and size modification, breaking down complexity, enhanced observational skills, improved hand-eye coordination and confidence Building.

Ratings and reviews

You can't adjust enough things to make this useful. It also has a rotate button that does nothing. I want to pick a grid size and doing something so obvious is hard. I can't pick inches even though I click on inches. I rotate to a portrait view. Frankly almost nothing works properly or intuitively. I thought it was just a matter of learning but I just can't get it to work.

Very good app. Helpful but would be better if there's more custom application for putting the grid like if I want to concentrate on the face only, I can layer another grid focus only on the face, on the mouth, nose etc. If I use the custom option and make a smaller grid, it will be confusing for the other parts that doesn't require of too much lines. For the overall application, this is good and helpful, thank you

awesome! I'm using this app for checking my drawing proportions. It's very simple but has a lot of functionalities. the only problem is I have purchased the "remove ads" feature, but the "remove ads" option still remain.. 4 stars for now, 5 stars when the problem is fixed, thanks!
