Using a grid to create distortion of space Ryan Hoover, face of guilt with anamorphic distortion graphite on paper; 18x24" Anamorphic distortion Sometimes you may want to change the proportions of a subject to create a special effect. Making random changes isn't nearly as effective as changing the proportions on a grid, because the distorted elements still have correct relationships.
1.Make a grid of same-size squares on your original. 2. Then on a support that is the size of your final drawing, make a grid changing the spacing of the vertical and horizontal lines, as shown in the sketches. 3. Transfer your lines from the squared-off grid to the distorted grid one space at a time, recording the elements found in each space to fit the corresponding space.
The result will be an altered appearance of the subject, whether a portrait, head or still life.
