![]() You can also draw the sub-lines if you are working with a detailed image, however, it is more work to add and subsequently erase the extra lines. ![]() In the example, I only drew the major lines, to produce a 4 x 6 grid. Use a ruler and pencil (or chalk line, if working on a chalk street painting) to lay out a grid that corresponds to the gri d overlayed on your photo. Lacking a printer, you can always just use the iPhone image as a guide. It may be helpful to also print a version of the photo without the lines, as sometimes the lines may obscure important details. Or, email the photo to a computer for printing full-size to use as a guide for drawing. If you have an HP wireless printer and HP printing app, you can print the image directly from your iPhone (however, the app only seems to print in a reduced size). The image to the right shows the photo with the grid overlay. You can also draw a grid by hand and take a photo of it, however, you will need to reduce its opacity (within the iPhone app) so the image layer shows through. I used Elements, and “Saved for Web” as a GIF with transparency. You can create your own grid with Adobe Elements (or a similar program), or download a copy of the grid I am using (right-click on grid image to the left). You can also email the grid file to your iPhone then save to a photo album. I created a grid by using Photoshop Elements to draw the grid pattern, added the image to iPhoto, then synched to my iPhone. Then, touching the icon to the right of the “+” allows you to select an image (in this case, a grid) from your photo library. Touching the Layers Editor icon (about “7 o’clock”) brings up a screen where “+” creates a new layer. Tou ching the small, round tool icon at the bottom of the SketchBook Mobile window brings up a set of icons. They offer a free version with up to 3 layers. The program I currently use is Sketchbook Mobile Express, made by Autodesk. There are several iPhone apps that allow you to overlay one image (e.g., a grid) on another image or photo. Obviously, composition and lighting are important, but I didn’t feel I could ask him to move his speakers and chairs around to accomodate my artistic needs! This photo of a guitar player was taken at a local cafe one Saturday afternoon. The following steps describe the process I have experimented with to create grid overlays on the iPhone, which are printed to our hp color printer using an app for wireless printing.
