How to draw Saturn devouring his son by Francisco de Goya

GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.
• Locate the head in advance and draw its approximate size using an oval • Draw 1 horizontal line above the head. Add another line a little further out. • Draw 1 horizontal line under the head. Below it, add 4 more lines at the height of the head. • Use a vertical line to cut the head in half. To the left and right of the head, draw a line: -on the left 2 lines equal to the width of the head; -on the right 3 lines equal to the width of the head.

STEP 1. From the head, draw a line. Add two shapes and a line between them, this will be the body.

STEP 2. Sketch Saturn's arms and legs and mark the joints with circles. Draw auxiliary lines and figures for his son. Erase any excess lines.
