Practice Practice Practice!!!! I know you probably hear that all the time but that is the best way. There are some techniques you could use to hep sharpen this skill.
A really good way is to pick a paper from a magazine, or online (print it out). And on the paper draw a graph. Then on a white/blank piece of paper draw a graph that has the same measurements as the one on the picture. Then on the blank paper, you copy the picture square by square. Does that make sense?
I found an articles you may like, it has some pretty good tips in it!

You're welcome!!!
We used that graph technique in one of my art classes and I really liked it. I think my picture turned out really well and it was easy! Just going one square at a time is definitely effective. And if you do the graph lines light enough on the blank paper, you can erase them when you're done and no one will ever know!!!
Good luck!
Good luck!
