Drawing to scale means that you are either making a picture smaller or bigger because it might be to big to draw like a house so u make it smaller or really tiny like a bug so in-large it. For example: Say you have a small wallet sized picture but you want to put it on your wall You decide you want it to be 40 cm by 60 cm but it's only 4 cm by 6 cm, you put it to scale and use a grid to help keep track. Just remember this ratio for these numbers, 1:10
