This is a step by step guide/handout for teachers and students on how to draw a portrait using the grid method. This method can apply to any object, not just portraiture. I created and used this handout for my Y10 Fine Art students. It was a success and something students referred to regularly.
This technique is not as easy as it may seem, and although it is not as demanding as drawing from observation, it still challenges students to improve hand eye coordination, and teaches them a way to draw proportionately.
Example on the worksheet is a ‘painting’ I did using Photoshop.

Really lovely page. This page does however focus on particular materials (oil paints) to be used and I had to explain to my students that we were using other mediums but I'm not complaining. I was able to give this to my students and they were able to work independently and in pairs, working on each step quite easily. You may want to do a more generic page less focused on the medium they will use to produce their portrait - just giving feedback as you have mentioned this helps you improve. Thank you
