Portrait 8×8 Grid

Portrait example

Portrait Artist • Los Angeles, CA

"Classical Portrait Study"

"Grid Maker Pro helped me nail the proportions perfectly. What used to take me hours now takes 30 minutes to set up. The 8×8 grid is my go-to for portraits."

Still Life 6×6 Grid

Architecture example

Landscape 12×12 Grid

Portrait commissions

Portrait painter

Illustrative scenario

"Proportions used to be the part I dreaded — I'd block a face in, sense it was off, and rebuild it twice. Stacking a Loomis head over an 8×8 grid gets me to a right first pass, so the time goes into the painting, not the correcting."

What changed

  • First-pass proportion accuracy on commission portraits
  • Setup measured in minutes, not a re-drawn block-in
  • Client reference photos stay on-device — never uploaded
Loomis head · 8×8 standard
DO

Fine-art prints

Landscape photographer

Illustrative scenario

"I check framing under the golden-ratio and dynamic-symmetry overlays before I commit to a crop, then export the proof with the grid baked in. Clients approve the composition on the first proof instead of three rounds of back-and-forth."

What changed

  • Composition locked before the crop is final
  • 600 DPI proofs with the overlay for client mark-up
  • No signup, no watermark, nothing to install
Golden ratio · dynamic symmetry
SL

Classroom adoption

High-school art teacher

Illustrative scenario

"Half my students are on school Chromebooks, half on their phones — anything that needs an account is dead on arrival. This runs in the browser for all of them. The free lesson plans gave me a term of structure I didn't have to build myself."

What changed

  • Works on every device with no install or login
  • Perspective grids projected for whole-class demos
  • A term of free lesson plans, ready to teach

Notes from the studio · Working practitioners on the tool

Illustrative composites of how the tool gets used in practice — not quotes from named individuals.

Bookmarked on the studio computer. The deep-link reopens with the exact overlay configured — no clicking through menus mid-session.
Portrait painterIllustrative scenario
Free and browser-only is the right shape for this kind of tool. I keep three tabs open during any project — one per overlay I'm comparing.
Brand designerIllustrative scenario
Lower friction means I actually use it, not save it for special occasions. Every overlay one click away.
