Is it bad to never actually measure proportions? I’ve been doing it intuitively from observation with gesture and construction

I’ve been grinding fundies to draw manga style better basically.

How do you measure proportions in perspective intuitively? I feel like actually using a ruler to measure an arm at a certain angle is way too mathematical and I won’t really learn much from it.

Is it just a matter of drawing it so many times that you intuitively know what it should look like? Another reason I feel actually measuring would be a waste is that every person’s arms is slightly different based on body fat, muscle, and height.

The only fundies I’ve been focusing on are gesture and perspective, how do you know when you’re ready to move on to stuff like construction with boxes and anatomy?
