It's a method for drawing exactly from sight, sure. What if you want to draw from memory or imagination?
It's not like these exercises won't help at all in those aspects though, and there are far worse ways of learning to draw or improving your abilities.

people with adhd brain will never understand the kind of intimate pathways that open in your brain from spending time on something if they've never did it
your kind always think learning is A gets to B like we're actually computers

its weird i discovered this on my own ( https://files.catbox.moe/blsl6v.jpg), but i never heard of it before browsing here. is there like an actual book about it or a guide? and in the end, its just deduction to get to this point of drawing from either life or pictures, you make the shapes and then you fill em out like in grade school, really easy, but only after getting the shapes, angles and distances right beforehand, the actual hard part. especially if you freehand it and only use your sight to measure approximates. this way it gets a little personality though and isnt just a xerox how the nodraws on here like to say

have you ever drawn the city of rome on a landscape? how would you do that from imagination if you havent studied it beforehand? if you never saw a dragonfly, didnt even hear a description, how would you draw it? a dragon with wings of a fly? copying is the first essential step to do whatever you want after, but you have to walk the mile. just think of it as detective work. do you think sherlock holmes would come to the right conclusions without knowing all the facts beforehand? do you think he would seem as knowledgable if he filled his mind with unecessary knowledge (for his goal) like accounting and fishing?
anyone that cant copy and observe which is the most basic foundation of any art, will not be any good later. imitation is what humans are very good at.

I haven't seen a dragon fly in over 6 years and I can still easily construct one with 100% accuracy. Explain that.

It's not retard-proof enough for me. I don't understand the relationship between those two drawings or what I'm supposed to do with them. It sort of seems like it's implying some sort of process, but I don't know what that might be. I tried copying them both, but I don't feel like I gained anything from doing that. Copying drawings always feels like just a boring mindless chore that has absolutely nothing in common with actually drawing something from life/imagination.

The Bargue process came with instructions originally. Try googling it. Plus, this has everything to do with drawing - from imagination or not. This trains your observation skills, and once you can draw from observation that implants into your brain. The skills transfer to imaginary subjects. Eye-Brain-Hand skills. Structure of planes, light, shadow. Being able to 1:1 something you can see. Learning to measure with pencil, stick or just eye and form relationships. Don't knock it - it exists for a reason.
