Grid drawing is a very old technique of transferring images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same (even if the size of the squares are bigger on the paper). This is because no matter how many times bigger (or smaller) you make the drawing, the proportions and dimensions can only stay the same if the number of boxes (squares) matches exactly.
Make sure you follow all steps below.

Influences Real and Imaginary
Influences Real and Imaginary
There is a big difference between simply looking at an artwork and forming an informed opinion about that artwork. The difference comes from constantly asking questions about what you are seeing.
Perspective is an ever-present concept in art, which is why you started with it. Being able to recognize if and how perspective was used is crucial to art appreciation and helps you ask and answer the "how" questions.
Now it's time to move onto the "why."
A very important first question to ask about an artwork is, "Is it realistic?" If so, why? If not, why not? Painting realistically (or not) is a recurring theme in all of art history that has affected every artist in some way.
Another big "why" question comes from the artists themselves. No matter what, artists always have a goal when creating art and always try to communicate a message with their art.
Knowing an artist's historical context and influences will help you figure out the message or the "why" behind an artwork.
To the left, Country Road by a House by Goffredo Wals, circa 1620. To the right, Vincent van Gogh's Country Road in Provence at Night, 1890. Each artist had his own goals. It's time to start asking what those goals were and, more important, why.
