A sketch and its notes belong on the same page, but they do not want the same paper. Drawing wants a grid; writing wants lines at a comfortable height. Splitting the sheet gives each what it needs and keeps them side by side, which is the whole reason people tape graph paper into ruled notebooks.
Grid on the left suits a right-hander annotating a sketch. Grid on the right suits the reverse. Grid on top turns the sheet into a figure with a caption — the layout lab books and field notes have used for a very long time.
Half and half is the obvious start; a third to the grid suits notes with the occasional diagram.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
Cornell splits the page into cue, notes and summary, all for writing. This splits it between a drawing grid and writing lines. Some people use both — Cornell for lectures, split page for anything with diagrams.
Yes. Set the grid side to On top and the sheet becomes a figure area above ruled lines.
Half is the default. Give the grid a third if you mostly write, two thirds if you mostly draw.
