Thanks for visiting my sketchbook.
You seem to be on the right track with your heads. I want to give a tip on accuracy. This works a lot better and doesn't rely on years of built up hand-eye coordination that some long-time artists can rely on. I like the logical approach, maybe you will as well.
Use triangulation between points to figure out where things go.

The human eye is very sensitive to whether lines are parallel. If you flick your eyes back and forth from your drawing to the ref, you will see if the line you drew is parallel with the ref. To start off with you can actually draw lines to points over reference images and then you can imagine the angles, even drawing from life. Pick points that are important and unmistakable, and connect them with precise angles.
If your angles are right and your points are right (ie not wiggling or traveling), your drawing will be right too.
This idea is from the book Drawing in the Digital Age. There's not much more in the book than what I've just explained so if you'd like me to clarify, I can. Or check out the book.
