Print off a good copy of the piece you are illustrating (the one you analysed last week)Make sure the paper/surface

you are working on it TO SCALE with the illustration before

drawing out

Task 2: Now draw out your piece this week so

that you can start adding media next week

You could GRID your piece up (making sure

the scale of the illustration is the same as the

scale of your paper)

You could use a LIGHT BOX or WINDOW if can

and if you are working on paper

You could use some GRAPHITE TRANSFER

PAPER or TRACING PAPERif you have any

There is also an APP for your phone called

‘Camera Lucida’ which you can buy – on this

you can fade the image you are drawing from

and also see live through your camera at the

same time (set it up overhead so it’s still)
