How to draw a grid over an outline

ArtistAssistApp allows combining grid and outline features.

ArtistAssistApp can convert your reference photo into an outline.

If you don't trace photos in your art and prefer a freehand drawing, the ArtistAssistApp's outline feature can help. Artists sometimes want to put a grid over an outline because it eliminates the "color clutter" and makes the drawing easier to accomplish.

Open the "Outline" tab and press the "Save" button to download the outline image that the app has created from your reference photo.

Import the saved outline image as a reference photo.

Open the "Grid" tab to draw the grid over the outline.

These simple steps can help you get a perfect outline without tracing a photo.
