Hello, Steemians!

If you’ve ever tried to create complex geometric art or mandalas in Blender Grease Pencil, you know that the standard drawing guides can sometimes feel a bit... limited. One of the biggest hurdles for artists is maintaining perfect symmetry and proportion—especially when you need those tricky diagonal lines that the default canvas sometimes doesn't provide.

Today, I’m excited to share a game-changer for your creative workflow.

Check out the tutorial below!

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you a "pro-method" to build a high-precision grid from scratch. The best part? It is surprisingly easy. We aren't just drawing lines; we are using Blender’s powerful mesh tools to generate a mathematically perfect template with integrated diagonal cross-guides.

Why you’ll love this method:

Create Once, Use Forever

Once you build this grid, you can save it as a template. You’ll never have to waste time recreating your guides again—just open your file and start creating!

Total Precision

By using the "Mirror & Snap" technique, we ensure that every intersection is pixel-perfect.

Focus on the Art

With the technical setup out of the way, you can finally focus on what matters: your drawing.
