Best practice for sketching on multiple planes

Instead of drawing a back and right 2D view of the same object next to each other in 2D drafting workspace I would like to sketch them separately on their respective UCSs in (3D modelling workspace) a bit like a skeleton sketch with a view to 3D modelling parts later on. If I do this, what would be best practice to hide all the contents of back view when plotting the right view and visa versa without creating separate layers for each sketch?

Assuming you’re drawing on the sides of a 3d solid when you plot with hide on the solid should hide all “the skeletons” behind it

I'm just sketching on the origin planes of front and left but with a view to hiding everything in 'left' when I create a viewport for 'front' before locking the viewport and hiding everything in 'front' when I create a 2nd viewport for 'left.'

So if your method works keep using it
