Drawing aid

A drawing system for a creation of a drawing onto a destination base, said drawing derived from an image, comprising:

• a plurality of image guides adapted to overlay said image;
• a grid pattern on each of said image guides having rows and columns forming squares;
• said grid patterns varying in size by predetermined percentages, wherein said variation in size by predetermined percentages facilitates an adjustment in size of a desirable portion of said image into said drawing;
• and
• overlayable detail image-guides for creating a drawing of fine detail wherein said detail image-guides are adapted to overlay said image guides, wherein said detail image guides divide a portion of said squares into a plurality of sub-squares.

A drawing system for creating a drawing onto a destination base, said drawing derived from an image, comprising:

• a plurality of substantially transparent image guides adapted to overlay said image;
• a grid pattern on each of said guides having row and column labels, said grid patterns increasing in size by a predetermined percentage from one image guide to the next;
• and
• means for modifying a composition frame in order to match the shape of a chosen canvas.

• means for modifying a composition frame in order to match the shape of a chosen canvas;
• and
• a canvas table specifying canvas ruler scales for various canvas sizes, and specified positions for said means for modifying a composition frame for various canvas shapes.

A drawing system for a creation of a drawing onto a destination base, said drawing derived from an image, comprising:

• a plurality of image guides adapted to overlay said image;
• a grid pattern on each of said image guides having rows and columns forming squares;
• said grid patterns varying in size by predetermined percentages, wherein said variation in size by predetermined percentages facilitates an adjustment in size of a desirable portion of said image into said drawing;
• and
• pre-printed grids and labels on clear plastic sheets for placing on the backside of canvases an illuminating from the back.

A method for drawing a likeness of an image onto a destination base comprising:

• overlaying a first image-guide onto said image, wherein said first-image guide comprises a grid pattern of a first spacing;
• gridding said destination base, wherein said gridding comprises a grid pattern of a second spacing different than said first spacing wherein gridding said destination base comprises:
• applying a transparent grid pattern to the backside of said destination base and providing illumination from the back;
• and
• transferring scene information from said image onto the destination base.

A method for drawing a likeness of an image onto a destination base comprising:

• overlaying a first image-guide onto said image, wherein said first-image guide comprises a grid pattern of a first spacing;
• overlaying a detail image-guide onto said first image guide, wherein said detail image-guide divides a portion of said grid pattern of a first spacing into a plurality of sub-squares;
• gridding said destination base, wherein said gridding comprises a grid pattern of a second spacing different than said first spacing;
• and
• transferring scene information from said image onto the destination base.

A drawing system for a creation of a drawing onto a destination base, said drawing derived from an image stored in a computer, comprising:

• a software-generated image guide having a grid pattern comprising rows and columns forming squares, said grid pattern adjustable in size thereby facilitating an adjustment in size of a desirable portion of said image into said drawing;
• combining means for overlaying said image guide onto said image to form a gridded image;
• and
• a software-generated detail image guide overlayable said image and registered to said image guide wherein said detail image guide divides some of said squares of said grid pattern into a plurality of sub-squares for creating a drawing of fine detail.

A method for drawing a likeness of an image onto a destination base, wherein said image is stored in a computer, comprising:

• overlaying a software generated image guide onto said image, wherein said image guide comprises a grid pattern of a first spacing, wherein said grid pattern is adjustable in size and location over said image;
• overlaying a software-generated detail image guide onto said image wherein said detail image guide subdivides a portion of said image guide grid pattern into a sub-grid pattern;
• gridding said destination base, wherein said gridding comprises a grid pattern of a second spacing different than said first spacing;
• and
• transferring scene information from said image onto the destination base.
