How the grid method works
The method reduces a complicated reference into a series of small visual problems. Each square gives you clear boundaries for comparing angles, negative space, curves and distances.
For best results, keep the same number of rows and columns on the reference and drawing surface. If the physical drawing is larger, scale each cell proportionally while preserving the same aspect ratio.
