Three Ways to effectively Copy an Image - the D&T way and the Art way

THREE SUPERCHARGE ways to copy an image for SHAPE BORROWING

Some general comments on each of them and how useful they are for various applications like for copying and for creating new sketches. Some are best for D&T and some are for ART. But all of them are interchangeable to be best of your advantage if you know how to do everyone of them well.

1. the Geometric Shape Method (GSM) 

2. the Grid Method (GM) 

3. the Negative Space Method (NSM)  1. The gsm is most versatile for dt. 2. The gm is not so good for new sketches, otherwise the second most versatile for dt. 3. The negative space is one of the quickest way to copy. But not for creating new sketches. Best for copying artistic organic references, not entirely useful for dt application.
