RafaTo be able to determine positions. If you are someplace where there aren't any named features, you need the grid lines on order to describe where you're at. Without them you'd be left with things like: "left corner, about two inches up".
With them, you can say:"slightly north of horizontal grid this-and-that, and just east of vertical grid so-and-so." which offers much better accuracy.

Help you draw good pictures?
No one can draw pictures perfect straight away, I find it easier to draw a picture from another picture; for example, drawing a ballet dancer go on google images print off a nice picture of a ballet dancer, and copy it. It takes practice but the end result is good. Also some people find it easier to draw a grid; use a ruler to draw a grid over the picture then draw a grid the same size on a blank piece of paper and copy what is in each square. To make a person look 3D make sure you use light and dark tones (shading), otherwise it can look 2D. If t doesn't look perfect or exactly the same dont worry, think of it as your own interpretation of it.
How do you draw grid on 8x10 picture for 12x12 canvas?
You will have to decide whether you want to crop the original image or to draw/paint the original as is and fill in the extra space on either side with an extension of the background. If you want to crop, make your grid on the original in 2" increments and the canvas grid in 3" increments. If you want to extend the background on the canvas, go for a 2" grid on the original and a 2 1/2" grid on the canvas.
