I use my iPad for reference images so I don’t have to draw the grid twice lol I just turn the grid on. I hate drawing the grid but it’s an important part of my process. 😂

I use it for my drawings it definitely leveled up my hyperrealism game but you still need to have an eye for proportion to get it right, so I lm glad my background (self trained) involved freehand drawing. It trains the eye to see what’s really there

I know this method but for portraits you go the same ? The margin of error is not the same than with citrus!

I started this this but gradually stopped and now do freehand. It’s a good method though.
