Sure, but the thing to remember is that as it is taught in Drawabox, construction is an exercise rather than the way you're expected to draw. It helps us develop our spatial reasoning skills, but there are inherently some disadvantages to it - specifically in that it can make your drawings quite stiff if you're too orthodox about it, which is understandably not great for animation.

What matters more is the spatial reasoning skills the exercise develops, as they continue to be present and active regardless of how we approach our drawings.
