Site size is far easier since you are not changing scales. Artists don't do it because it's harder. However it isn't always practical. When doing larger compositions the artist would do a sight size drawing form a distant vantage point without moving his (her) position. The drawing would be then scaled up using a grid system. This is why you see so many preparatory drawings with a graph overlying it.
