To know how to prepare your picture plane (pp) for drawing, first you must know how does it work. First you need to have a clean piece of Plexiglas (8″ x 12″) and hold it in front of your eyes. Now look around through that Plexiglas. You can look around your room, at a table, look at it from different angles, look a doorway and what you see in the other room, you can even go and look down the street, everywhere.

You can draw everything that you see through that piece of plastic, first directly on that piece, afterwards on paper, when you’ll get the hang of it.
For preparing a picture plane for drawing you’ll need: a Plexiglas (8″ x 12″), a fine- point permanent marker, a washable marker and a ruler. Next you will need to make a grid on your pp. First take the permanent marker and draw diagonals on the plastic. Now draw one vertical and one horizontal line in the center of the plastic. Now the paper plane is divided into four boxes.

Next step involves dividing the four boxes into smaller boxes of 2″ x 3″ vertical. Now each of these boxes will also be divided into four smaller ones each. The drawing will be made with the washable marker. The purpose of the grid is to help you to see the relations between the different shaper that you want to draw. It will also help you transfer the drawing from the pp to the paper.
When you start drawing on the plastic you must be careful to stay motionless. It is important that the picture plane doesn’t move either. This is necessary because the image that you are trying to draw must remain static. You can prevent the piece of plastic to move by propping it on a book, or simply on your lap.
