Draw Shapes On A Grid Worksheets
How to Use a Grid to Help You Draw Geometric Shapes - Did you know that you can use a grid method to draw geometric shapes? You can use this method to replicate, enlarge, or even create a smaller version of a shape. It is, indeed, a time-consuming process but is inexpensive and easy method. It is a method that involves drawing a grid over a reference image or photo, followed by a grid made of equal ratio on your work surface. After this is done, you need to start drawing an image on your work surface. Try to focus on one square at a time. Once done, you can erase the grid lines. Using a mechanical pencil will help you create thin and clear lines and when you do, draw these lines with a very light hand.
