Then we see that it comes here, and then we have it curve around in this square. So there's my curve there. And then we kind of have here until we head into the automobile. Over on this side we have this happening. We have this shape here. Sometimes I find it easier to think in shapes. And then we have it, it comes all the way over to here. So we're going to zoop over there. And I'm sort of extrapolating behind the trees here, but we're kind of behind the trees, the forest assigns where we are. And it comes over here. So I'm in the last square and that's fine and it's going to kind of come over here. And then we're in the second square, we go here and we come down here and I went in a little bit off which is why you do this in pencil and not felt tipped pen. And come over here and you end up down there. So you sort of are plotting your way, using the, using where the edges meet the sides of these different squares. And that helps you place the items in basically the same villation that they were on the original. If you don't have a lot of practice copying or drawing this is the way to do it. And it's also one way you can do it again, if you want it to go big you just use the same format, you know have this grided and them make the grid proportionately bigger, say putting this onto the wall behind me. You know, the squares on the wall might be this big. And the other thing you might want to do is make sure that the grid that you draw is erasable. Because you don't want that grid, you know, the original picture I liked, it didn't have a grid on it. So you want to make sure that when you draw your grid on the piece of paper you're going to work on, you do that very lightly so you can erase it.
