Beginners cross stitch: the ultimate tutorial [Updated July 2021] - Peacock & Fig

✨The gridding technique✨ I use the gridding technique to help speed up the sketching process✍️ It’s also a great way to break down an image so you’re only focusing on a small portion instead of the entire picture🥴 The drawings I do can be quite overwhelming so I’m glad I use this technique to take off a lot of the pressure😊 • • • #coloredpencilart #coloredpencildrawing #yesprismacolor #travelartist #travelart #artaroundtheworld #realisticdrawings #strathmoreart #strathmorepaper #blickartmateri

The gridding technique✨ I love using the gridding technique because, for me, it speeds up the sketching process so I am able to start adding detail and color faster🥲 It acts as a map so I know where things are located and I’m able to stay accurate👏🏻 Can I draw without it? Of course. But it allows for more efficiency and I’m a big advocate for working smarter and not harder✍️ I use @prismacolor premier soft core colored pencils and @strathmoreart toned tan paper.
