I believe the issue you are having is that you aren't really constructing forms in your mind, but flat shapes. Even when drawing the ellipses for the spheres pr cylinders to indicate that it's 3d, that's still just a flat symbolic shape that you've memorized how to draw. It's difficult because you do need to see the shapes and draw them, after all your drawing is 2D. But you at the same time need to understand in your mind how that shape is actually indicating a form in space.
This is where I would move away from stuff like the Blair book or othet how to draw things. They are misleading because they construct with flat shapes and end up with forms. This is all for show and entertainment, not great for actually learning how to do it yourself imo.
