I'm a noob, but here goes my contribution anyway:

Grids are bad for what you're trying to do. So good for you :) Training the eye to measure distances is very good. Having said that, using a picture of a different size to the study will compromise this ability I think. Unless you pic something like an eye or the nose and use it as a measuring device for the rest of the features. But then you're not really measuring with your eyes, but with a device (which is totally fair mind you XD). I don't think there's any drawbacks to overlaying your picture to spot any mistakes. You should try flipping your canvas or turning it upside down too. It really, really helps. It's dramatic how much stuff you'll notice just by flipping it. Naturally, flip the source image as well. Finally, I think her hand is too small.
