You're not supposed to draw that, you're supposed to read it so you can gain an understanding of perspective and foreshortening. Sure, you could minutiously and calmly try to copy whatever is on that page but it's just a technical illustration and you won't gain much from it.

You need to get yourself the Vilppu Drawing Manual or How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. Personally I couldn't get into the Marvel one. I loved copying Vilppu's drawings though, I personally believe it's the best drawing manual to get started after you gain some line confidence. Try both and see what works for you.

A good curriculum for most beginners is:
>Drawing Basics playlist
[YouTube] How to Hold and Control Your Pencil (embed)
Go through all the videos and do the Eviston exercises seriously at the end of the videos if there are any. This playlist is more to get an understanding of drawing as whole, how to hold a pen, how perspective and foreshortening work, what are values, what are common mistakes etc.

>Drawabox Lessons 0-2
https://drawabox.com/lessons
Do lessons 0 to 2 of Drawabox. Take your time, don't erase, this is where you start drawing for real. Focus on your line making and accuracy.

>The Vilppu Drawing Manual
https://archive.org/details/the-vilppu-drawing-manual-pdoc
Go through the manual and copy Vilppu's drawings. Take your time, measure, don't copy 1 to 1 but inspire yourself and stay close to the spirit.

>Draw every single day
Copy drawings, objects, figures you like, try drawing on your own without reference. You can't draw a line if you've never drawn it before. It's like when you arrive in a new city you can't expect to know every street if you've never been there before, but after a while of exploring the city you will know the streets and what they have in them and where they lead.

TAKE YOUR TIME, drawing takes time, drawing takes repetition, it's a grind. Take it slow, focus on accuracy and penmanship.
