Once I have chosen a photo to work from, I have it enlarged to an 8" x 10" and measure off 4" x 8", I then draw a grid on the photo of 1" squares, on my canvas I draw a grid of 6" squares. On such large works I find it much easier to draw each square, it keeps my drawing in proportion easier! My small works I just sketch looking at the photo without a grid. Once drawn in pencil, I then go over my drawing with a black permanent sharpie marker.
