Yes. Yet, in my mind, for some peoples and/or subjects (drawing buildings, interiors where perspective is important, etc.), it may be easier to do the exact opposite. Meaning, to learn instead¹ how to construct an accurate perspective view from descriptive geometry, until it becomes second nature and one can then skip the geometric construction (or at least make it less exact and time consuming, closer to what's described in Robertson's "How to Draw" for instance).

¹: I wrote "instead", but of course both ways complement each other.
