Is there any way to apply Loomis principles to tracing so that I can learn while copying?

Why trace when you can just use the paint bucket tool?

You could "reverse engineer" a photo reference by drawing a mannequin over it and the major muscles and forms of the body, or you can do cross-contour drawing over the top of reference to help you to figure out how to "feEl ThE fOrM." Won't work so well on something like the OP pic since the artist flattened and simplified the face so much but it might help you understand it better, idk. But as it's tracing it's still only of limited usefulness.

I would say tracing is actually better for studying, because you don't have to spend so much time to get the forms right, while still learning from observation.

Yes. Trace the loomis heads from the book

Find the ball from the ref and cut the sides. Now, add a wedge at the bottom but make it round. Voila, loomis to anime head
