1:34 Yes! After using grids many, many times, I am now figuring out ways to enlarge without it being so cumbersome. My goal is not to be a master at drawing but delve much more into the actual painting of the piece. What I have been doing for the past 6 months is using my monitor screen like a light table and using tracing paper and graphite paper. If the image I want to paint is on a small canvas, my monitor is big enough to trace the image onto tracing paper as a whole. If I want to use the image on a larger canvas (wherein I would normally use the grid method), I crop the image into sections and then trace each section from the monitor. I then piece it the tracing paper together on the canvas and use graphite paper to trace the image onto the canvas. No printer needed!

I use PhotoShop to size my reference photo. You set it to 100 dpi and the measurement of your paper or canvas. Then I save it as a PDF. When you open the PDF and click print, you choose "Poster" mode and set the overlap. It works perfectly.

I love this method and the way you do it. However as I normally do not give advice I have found a way that works for me. I use a simple program called "Easy Poster Printer". It was a free download and I was so happy with it I sent a donation. You can scale and see in real time how many sheets it will take to print also in Metric and Inches of even Feet! The only draw back is the borders and limits of the print to edge of your printer. Mine happens to be very small like 1/4 of an inch then you have to trim them off before you can place all the sheets back together. It also numbers the sheets. I use this for the things I can not draw to enlarge. Thank you so much for sharing and your method as I am going to try it also!

Oh my, what a lifesaver you are! I have been using a grid for larger paintings (which is quite time consuming) or doing 8"x10" paintings by tracing from an A4 photo. Whilst I would love to be a better drawer, it has always seemed to escape me, so this will be a revolution for my painting. Thank you so much!

@MazArtStudio 3 жыл бұрын

I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do. It’s worth the fee to me to be able to offer different size commissions. I can draw but I don’t add the time it takes to do a good drawing to my fees so this allows me to quickly crack on with the painting.

Great idea thank you for the video. I found a proportional tool to work wonders also. One of the best art tools I've ever used!!! I have used the grid method (that's how I learned to draw as a child) and the projector but the proportional tool is the best. A cheap one cost about 10 dollars on Amazon. Best investment you can get for size, convenience and better results. And it enlarges and reduces anything, photo, still life, nature, etc.

The method you use is the one most comfortable to me, but I have been looking for a good app for the outline and resizing on my PC.

I've been stressing over how to do this for months, as I paint house portraits and the houses have so many angles and details. Been using the grid system but I suspect this method will be a lifesaver. Thanks so much! By the way, I signed up with Rapid Resizer and they sent me some free tools... one of them is called Picture Stencil Maker: Instantly turn a photo into a template for your next great art project. Upload your file and it automatically becomes a black and white design!

I do this with graphite paper which you can get in large size sheets - I find it quicker and easier (less messy) than charcoaling the entire back of the painting. I also find green painters tape easier - it is easier to draw through (press ing with your pen) Also, the painters tape is wider so u need less of it leaving more easily traceable space. Just my 2 bits

I really appreciate you taking the time to show your process. Thank you. That being said, I would like to say I am not a fan of paying an app developer a yearly or monthly fee. My opinion is they should just price the app and leave it at that. I don’t want to have to worry about subscription renewal’s and all that malarkey. I have dozens of apps on my iPad and if I have to worry about subscriptions being automatically renewed it takes the fun out of creativity.

Thank You!!! I believe that anything you can use as a tool to make something come alive while having expedited achieving your goal of a finished work of art is a vital part of the process. Tools are important now as they where when pigment was blown from a tube to out line hands on a cave wall or the camera obscura, used by many of the masters whom inspire us and fill our museums with heroic and interdisciplinary masterpieces. Further more, you are awesome and if I get my hands on a copy of the art rule book and the chapter on cheating I'll let you know. We live in a great world with incredible technology and intertwined with actually drawing, painting or sculpture should be utilized to create and explore, rather than cheating ones self by being limited as if there were only one way to speak.
