This is essentially how drawing with comparative measurement works. Along with sight-size and grids, intentionally practicing this technique helps with learning to see the true proportions of shapes, and therefore to also make more accurate marks, whether drawing from life or imagination. It's one of the key training methods for visual art and a major missing link for many self-taught artists. If you grind out studies of the Bargue plates - or really, any pictures with some detail and complexity, though Bargue's system is designed to gradually increase in difficulty - you will become very good at estimating distances and angles. It doesn't solve all drawing problems, but it makes them much easier.
