how to blow up a drawing using a grid

Okay so now I have started to brush in a figure. If you look closely you can see the wall is gridded into six inch squares. Make your grid nice and square, not sloppy. Dont be lazy. Measure twice, cut once. As you look at your source drawing you can see it is easy to scale up...now you must number your grid the same as you did the original drawing. So for instance if a face fall in a certain box on the oringinal drawing you can look at your large grid and put it in the same box. Some people use letters for one side of the grid to save confusion. For instance a face falls on grid g7. It really helps the drawing go up and is a fun excercise. I hope this makes sense, easy to do, hard to explain
