So of the three pictures I posted the other day which did I finally decide on making into grid art? The answer: technically none of them but sort of the second one. I planned on using the Doctor Who/Pulp Fiction crossover but when I started I noticed that it was impossible to distinguish their faces and the sonic screwdrivers were indistinguishable from their arms. So I figured it would be best to base it off of the original picture from Pulp Fiction.
So my plan was to shade in the grid paper with a sharpie and leave the white portions uncolored for a distinct contrast. To make it easier to determine where to shade and what to leave blank I took the picture into Photoshop and lined up a grid with the same 40 by 50 square dimensions as the cut paper.
Then I marked where to leave blank on a test paper before actually shading.
Finally I cut a new piece of grid paper and began outlining and shading the picture to match the test paper.
The end result turned out about exactly how I wanted, although a white paint or white-out may have made it pop even more. Still I feel I made a picture that people could easily match to the original as long as they are at least somewhat familiar with the film.
