I'll take any and all advice anons. I have tried every book/method for a month and I feel like I am too dumb to understand how to use an artbook.I used digital to save paper but I usually do trad. Do I copy the artist's example until I can replicate it to proper fidelity and then apply it to my own stuff? Do I just grind and copy until I can carbon copy the author's stuff? I feel like I can't even make a line properly, I start making the line for the cheek and it comes out like shit. I try to make an oval for the head and it comes out like shit. I am confused and have no idea of how to approach it.

Tried to do pic related with this Japanese loomis (I feel like he mixed construction and grids, but wouldn't lines just overlap at that point?Does he use a lighter pencil beforehand uses his 6B for hard construction?No idea).

Work today in pic related.
