The document provides instructions for using a grid method to enlarge a drawing. It describes dividing the original picture into squares using a ruler to draw lines every half inch, then drawing a larger grid on a new sheet of paper. The method involves copying each square from the original grid onto the corresponding square in the larger grid to enlarge the picture proportionately. Using a grid helps improve drawing skills by training visual memory and judging relative distances.

cheating then using a grid to copy your image may be just the thing. The added bonus of using a grid as a drawing aid, is that you must judge relative distances and reproduce them, so it will help your overall drawing skills by training visual memory. Select the picture you want to enlarge. Place a ruler along the top edge of the picture. Make a small mark with a pencil at every 1/2 inch. Mark the bottom edge of the picture the same way. Make sure you have the same number of marks at the top and bottom of the picture. Connect each pencil mark at the top of the picture with a corresponding mark at the bottom using a ruler. This will make parallel lines over the picture. Measure and mark every 1/2 inch along the side edges of the picture. Connect the marks on each side. Your picture is now covered with squares called a grid. Calculate how much larger you need to make your picture and how large you need to make squares on a second grid. For example, if you are doubling the picture size, squares in the second grid will be 1 inch. Draw a second grid on a larger sheet of blank paper. Use a yardstick to make this larger grid if necessary. Copy the picture from the first grid, square by square, by drawing it on the new, larger grid.
