@Terri introduced me to that method of gridding, and I find it very useful.I’m not sure about the grid yet.
I’m not sure what you mean about a method of gridding? Tell me more, please!Thanks for the info! I'm certain that I've tried a solvent with colored pencils before, but in a very limited way. Or maybe it was oil pastels and solvent...

It's a simple (to me) way of scaling up a drawing, explained in this article. I find it works well for, say, doubling the scale of a 4x6" photo to 8x12" if I need a little accuracy.I’m not sure what you mean about a method of gridding? Tell me more, please!
Ohhhhh! I do that sometimes when doing something that I want to be exact. The grid here was an afterthought. I liked the contrast between organic and less obviously geometric forms.It's a simple (to me) way of scaling up a drawing, explained in this article.

Maybe you weren't doing that at all?
This is a very cool piece! I like the grid background.
Yes, I think the grid method discussed in the article is useful for scaling a reference image to your paper or canvas size. It helps with maintaining proportions. I've used it and it's pretty straightforward.It's a simple (to me) way of scaling up a drawing, explained in this article.
