| Where accuracy is required, I use this grid system. This can be used on location as well. Simply hold the see through grid at arms length and locate the key points. Photo’s can often hide details in shadows and bright highlights. |

| Draw your own grid onto layout paper (thin paper) to enlarge the image – the larger the squares, the bigger the picture. |

| Now transfer your best lines from the layout paper to your cartridge paper. You do this by using transfer paper, (this is similar to carbon paper except that it transfers a pencil mark instead of ink) and a sharp hard pencil. Make sure the transfer paper is face down onto the cartridge paper. Place your layout drawing on top and then simply trace over your best lines. When this is completed, add the extra details lightly to your drawing on the cartridge paper, using an HB pencil. |
| Start with the clock first because if this goes wrong it’s easy to start again. The actual size of this clock face is just 21mm high. |
