Grid Technique

Your next drawing

• You will use a basic grid technique , values & forms to realistically draw an randomly chosen, inanimate object.

• Transform your object into the illusion of an “anamorphic” object.– Use your new eyeball drawing skills & draw them

directly on/in your object as realistically as possible.– The most challenging part will be making the eyes

look like they are a living part of the object and not just look like a “sticker.”
