Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
In the beginning, make sure you have a good quality photo to work with, as it will be important to work with later in this tutorial. You can find the reference we’ll be using here from PhotoDune.
Using Adobe Photoshop, open the image at a reasonable size. For this tutorial, I will make a reference that is A4 paper size (11¾ x 8¼ inches).
Step 2
In the View button on the top bar, find the Display option and click Grid to display the default grid on your image.
Step 3
This may need tweaking to make drawing the image easier, so look for the Preferences option in the Photoshop button and adjust the gridlines to the size you require. For this tutorial, we will divide the 8 cm grid by a 2 cm subdivision.
Step 4
Once your grid is set up correctly, press Shift-Command-4 to take a screenshot and then paste the screenshot on top of your original image. Using the resize command (Command-T) adjust your image so that it fits the canvas size. Then cut the edges with the Crop Tool.
You may want to label your grid axis both above and below as shown below. I like to label mine 1, 2, 3 on the top and A, B, C on the sides. Doing this can help you keep track of your grid and can ensure you don’t get lost in the reference.
