Try not to get dejected by comparing yourself to your favourite artist. Just because they don't use construction lines doesn't mean they aren't thinking about it constantly. They just have a wealth of knowledge where they can lean on that more internally than externally. Everyone can get there, it just takes lots of studying, and lots of practice.
In the meantime, it's always good to analyse art of people you admire. Figure out what you like about them and study them. Do you like the shape language of an artist? How they simplify form? The colour palettes? Their line art weight? Etc. etc. By figuring out why exactly you like an artist or piece of artwork, you can then study it to influence your own work.
If you haven't already, check out Charles Bargue. I think everyone can benefit immensely from looking at his drawings.
