Cognitive drawing is really really really good. I think it's extremely effective, probably more effective than the way David Finch taught memory drawing. I highly encourage everyone to do it. But...

I think this method (pic related) is the best, to be honest. I'm basically doing this https://youtu.be/RXb-Y_kz2aU except I'm not moving on from the reference until I significantly improve at capturing it. The most important part about drawing is the basic shapes and proportion, and if you can nail the proportions, your form can be flat and your details misplaced, but your art will still look good. My earlier attempts are on the right, and the later attempts on the left, and I hope you can see some kind of gradual progression in my ability to do proportions. The last one, overlayed on the reference, was not traced. I was able to draw it and have it line up almost perfectly.

I don't go about shilling this method, though, because most people will think it's overly grindy and difficult to do.

Great work anon. If you haven't tried it, check out the Cognitive drawing method by jason brubaker, in the hack md page above. I think combining it with hampton and hide's examples would be a great step forward in your studies. It'll teach you to see proportions really well and help you solve difficult drawing problems.
