Specific grid sizes, scaling math, and fixes for the problems that appear once you start drawing.
A usable grid is detailed enough to locate shapes but open enough that you can still read the reference. Start at 8 x 8, then adjust for the subject.
Keep the aspect ratio and cell count the same, then let each target cell grow by the same scale factor.
Most grid drawing problems come from mismatched proportions, accumulated measuring error, or adding detail before the large shapes are settled.
