Working on the sketch

During the lesson today I made a quick pencil sketch of how I wanted my painting to look like. I might edit it a bit, but it gave a certain impression of how it will be. I will need to be careful to make the difference between the sides very distinct, especially in the note part as most people might not read notes and will need to be shown visually that there is a difference between the sides.
Then I went on to creating the grid on both my picture and the A3 sheet which the drawing will be on before it is transferred to the canvas. I decided on having a ratio of 1:4, and 4 cm squares (2 cm for the face so it is easier to get that part exact). This both fits nicely with both the picture and the A3 sheet, and was a size which will be good to work with.
I have decided to have Frida Khalo as my artist because she has a really distinct style, something which I want to have in my own painting as well.
