This portrait of Kurt Cobain was created using a traditional grid method, allowing for precise proportions and highly detailed, photorealistic results—all done entirely with a #2 pencil. By carefully mapping the image square by square, I was able to build this piece with accuracy and control, capturing the subtle details in Kurt’s expression, shading, and overall presence. Every line and shadow was placed by hand—no tracing, no digital tools—just graphite and patience. The grid technique serves as the foundation, but the depth, contrast, and realism come from hours of layering and refining each section until the image fully comes to life.
