It looks like you've uploaded a
grid drawing worksheet titled
"Grid II", which is designed to help students practice
drawing by scaling up an image using a grid method. Here's how to solve and explain the task:

🔍 Understanding the Task
The goal is to
enlarge one of the three animal images (a gorilla, a cat, and a bird) using the grid method.
#### Instructions on the sheet:
1.
Use the grid to enlarge one of the animals.
2.
Work by drawing the biggest things first.
3.
Draw from part to part using the squares.
4.
Finally copy texture and value.

✔ Step-by-Step Solution
#### 1.
Choose One Animal
You can pick any one of the three animals (gorilla, cat, or bird). For this example, let’s choose the
cat.
> ⚠️ Note: You must select
one to enlarge. Don’t try to draw all three.
#### 2.
Understand the Grid System
- The original image is divided into
smaller squares.
- The blank grid on the right is
larger — each square here represents
multiple small squares from the original.
- This means you are
scaling up the image.
Let’s assume:
- The original image has
6x6 squares.
- The blank grid is
12x12 squares.
→ So, each large square =
2x the size of the original.
> 🔎 *This is a common ratio: 1:2 scale.*
#### 3.
Transfer the Image Square by Square
Follow these steps:
##### a.
Start with the Biggest Features
Look at the cat:
- The
head is the largest part.
- The
ears,
eyes,
nose, and
whiskers are key features.
Draw the
overall shape of the head in the corresponding area of the large grid.
##### b.
Work Part by Part
Break down the image:
- Draw the
ear in its correct position.
- Then the
eye,
nose,
mouth, etc.
- Use the
grid lines as guides — each small box in the original corresponds to a larger box in your drawing.
##### c.
Copy Texture and Value
After sketching the outline:
- Add
shading (value) to match the original.
- Copy
texture (like fur patterns, shadows).
- Darker areas in the original → darker shading in your drawing.
- Light areas → leave lighter or use light pencil strokes.

🧩 Example: Drawing the Cat
| Original Grid | Blank Grid |
|---------------|------------|
| 6x6 squares | 12x12 squares |
So:
- Each
1 square in the original =
2 squares in the large grid.
- If the cat’s eye is in the
top-left corner of the original, draw it in the
top-left of the large grid, covering the same relative space.

🖋️ Tips for Success
-
Don’t trace — use the grid to
copy proportions.
- Work
slowly — go square by square.
- Use a
light pencil first for outlines.
- Add
details last after the basic shape is in place.

✔ Final Answer Summary
To complete the task:
1. Choose
one animal (e.g., the cat).
2. Use the
grid method to enlarge it from 6x6 to 12x12 squares (double size).
3. Start with
big shapes (head, body), then add
details (eyes, ears).
4. Copy
shading and texture carefully.
> 💡 This technique teaches
proportion, observation, and precision — essential skills in art!
