Review: From Grids to Bricks
You will always need to tweak your model as you translate it from a sketch into real bricks, but by doing so, you should end up with a stronger design. The drawings you create on the grids should only provide you with a guide; you don’t have to follow them brick for brick. The best thing to do is to create your design sketch and then simply start building the real thing. As you work, you can step back, examine the actual assembly, and see which bricks or plates you want to change. The result, whether a small group of pieces or a complete mosaic portrait, will be a work of art that you can call your own.
