Oh Bargue plates gotcha. It's good that you had someone to push you to do those. I was in a similar mindset when I started drawing, except I would do portraits of celebrities and yeah they were terrible. I'd heard about measuring, so I'd do that without finding horizontals/verticals so sometimes it'd come out way stretched, like it'd mentioned in that accuracy guide you linked (thanks, and I'll definitely seek them out sometime).
I'd heard of both the Bargue plates and the accuracy guide before, but that was before I even knew what fundamentals were haha, so I pretty much blew it off. A great piece of advice I'd heard and I wish I'd remembered from where is that even if you think you know something go over it again, when you're learning don't stop taking in 'new' information even if it's old news. Something like that anyway, but it's helped a ton.
