I'd just add that the grid doesn't have to be the size of the paper. It only has to follow the proportions of the original.
Indeed I never even bother to print the reference, I draw from my computer screen. I make the grid in PowerPoint and take it from there

For me it always make sense to have it the same size

Wait, do you draw the grid on the paper and then rub it off after drawing the outlines?

Hehe; i love how you almost abused your own tutorial xD
I must be weird... because I use a reference half the size of A4 ... so A5... to copy the outline. I make the grid on my page twice as large, which nearly fits an A3 page.. and then a full A4 to follow the details and shading etc....
If that makes sense... :S

No..it didnt
But if it works it works

haha lmao xD
Basically, i draw on A3, but I can't print A3 references. So it's easier to print A5 and make a grid that I can double in size, as A4 in portrait doesn't fit A3 in portrait ....
I'll not confuse you anymore hehe

Yay!
Printing easier; I can't always be on the computer, plus there isn't much room on the desk/ cupboard lol
It is annoying though; i have to check the computer to see if I'm getting the tones right or not ^^

You need a bigger desk..and a personal computer

It's very true... but on the other hand, I might be getting an ipod touch, so in that case, I can just save the picture I'm drawing to that, and then consult it when i need to

What do you do different?

first of all, i use photofiltre programme.
and 2ndly: i like..i take the white A4 paper in that programme, so it really has the same width and length as a real A4 and then i put the reference inside it & grid it. : D
but well, the point's the same.

Well the grid I use is A4, so I usually add the grid to the image, adjust it, and then crop the image with the grid. so it'll be the right size

It doesn't make sense, how do you do it? why do you do it? where do you do it? when do you do it? who do you do it with?
