I’m the same as you and I get around it by using a grid. I was rereading Betty Edwards’ book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (which I have purchased 3 copies of and I still can’t draw, haha) and I saw this drawing Vincent van Gogh made of a grid he used for learning perspective. It’s online here:

I put a photo in PowerPoint, measure it (awkward but worth it to me) and then I put grid lines on it like the ones in van Gogh’s grid, a + and an x, four intersecting lines. Then I draw the same size rectangle or square on my paper and put the same grid lines. That allows me to get a drawing that’s much better than I could do freehand. (I think you can also use a grid to enlarge a photo when you paint it so, I don’t think my painting size is limited by the size of the computer screen. I haven’t tried that yet and I don’t know if this type of grid would be best for that. I prefer painting small watercolors anyway. Plus my laptop has a 17” screen so it isn’t that small.)
First I'm going to focus on watercolor painting and later I'll work on my drawing skills. I drew some apples freehand the other day and I realized my freehand drawing has improved a bit since I’ve been using the grid method.
Another even easier thing you could try is Saral graphite transfer paper. Or you could get a lightbox for tracing too. I didn't like regular tracing paper because it flips the image, unless you want to go over it several times, and I didn't.
