Adjusting matplotlib scatter plot size within for loop

Question

I want to set a figure size for each subplot. One size is fine for all. Data is from a pandas dataframe

X = pd.DataFrame(model_data[:,1:], columns = col[0:12])
y = pd.DataFrame(model_data[:,0], columns = ['mv'])


a = 1
for i in range(12):
    plt.figure(figsize=(20, 8))
    plt.subplot(3,4,a)
    plt.scatter(X.iloc[:, i], y)
    a += 1

I want all the plots to be in 3x4 format with each sized at 20, 8.

How do I efficiently solve this problem?

The subplots will be the same size by default. (20,8) is pretty big for each subplot. Perhaps start with (20,8) for the entire figure size to start:

fig, axes = plt.subplots(3, 4, figsize=(20,8))
for i, ax in enumerate(axes.flatten()):
    ax.scatter(X.iloc[:, i], y)
