here is the secret to pencil drawing (to those who care)
-proportion grid-
the source material came from a small b/w photo, no larger than 5 inches high.
I made a high resolution copy and drew a grid across the entire image. I then took my sheet of heavy art paper and drew a proportionally larger grid *lightly*across the surface.
from there it was just a matter of drawing inside each small box basically turning a large drawing into several smaller drawings.
then the lightly traced grid is erased and the rest of the drawing is touched up with highlights and shadows.
easy as pie once you get the hang of it.
