Step 4: Details are pretty much complete at this point, and I usually spend a bit of time making sure the final product matches the subjects. I think it’s important to think about this from a broad, overall perspective first. Then, consider individual features that might not be accurate, especially the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Step 1: First, I measure the grid lines. In this drawing, I used a 1″ x 1″ grid. After the grid is in place, I start filling in the outlines of the figures. Realistic proportion is very important to me, especially if the subjects are real people.
