Oh no no no
That book is a complete meme. It will teach you some neat tricks for drawing vehicles but that's about it.
For drawing people it's pretty worthless.

Close the book the moment you see this kind of stuff. Drawing isn't something you solve with math equations. You are supposed to rely on your intuition that comes from drawing a lot. These books are for people who think their made-up aphantasia can be compensated for with rigid rules and diagrams.

idiots won't get anything out of them
