I am following along with the “Subjects with Pen and Ink” course. It doesn’t seem accurate for me when I try to judge the size of the images to do as I follow along. I can sort of tell by the scale in the video using Matt’s hand.  
If I simply print the reference photo, often with 4 to the page…is that the appropriate size? Seems small to me.
