Can anyone direct me to a good website for learning how to draw manga without freehand drawing?

I've been drawing manga for about half a year now, but I started realizing I have a really hard time drawing perspectives while freehand drawing. I tend to use simple lines as guides for proportion, but I really need a website that uses circles and other types of lines to draw perspective or bodies quicker. Any websites help! Thanks.

EXAMPLE (Before you start sending me background perspectives):

    firstly,,,in regards to those heads on devianart...those drawings are terrible. rotten, in fact.

    secondly,,,you don't mean "perspective", you mean "foreshortened". foreshortened figures are figures posed at an angle. i don't know any artist who uses the word perspective when describing a head/body at an angle.

    get a wooden mannequin or styrofoam head from your local art store and start drawing it at different angles.
