construction is a meme. it leads to shitty spherical manga-tier heads like

if you stop constructing like a fucking paper pusher, you're doing yourself and your developement a huge favor.
construction != approximation sketching
artists have always and still use approximating sketchlines to lay out the general form. when you start to draw e.g. a person, you will want to get a few thin, quick lines on the paper to see how big you need to work as not to cut the feet or other parts at the end of the paper and for general composition.
constructing to an unexperienced artist / beginner will mostly lead to confusion, because you start treating every head and body like a conjunction of spheres, equators to measure location of eyes and nose, boxes etc. etc. ; the human skull is not a fucking sphere, it is complex and has irregular parts, for instance around the fontanel. you should mainly work from your perception of shape rather than creating a shape analysis that isn't visible. if you heavily rely on construction and instill it in your process to a point where you can't go without it, consciously or subconsciously, you've basically handicapped yourself. it will be very very difficult if not impossible to get rid of such a habit.
>tl;dr: always use construction moderately. modify it and create your own approximating sketch technique. don't jump into construction as a beginner.pic related: this is a Loomis student drawing
it shows the typical flaws of relying exessively on deconstructing the head into shapes, measurements and trying to reconstruct it.
