sure thing :)
From what i remember, the better drawing courses were stephen silver, alex woo, the seiler caricature course (where he will beat you over the head with the importance of drawing,) I really didnt care much for the fluharty stuff personally, but it could help you. Overall i think the best one would actually be the seiler course but you already have a decent grasp on reference drawing. So in that case stephen silvers and alex woo will help you a lot with design and invention.
Also watch as many of the critiques as you can stomach, even though its someone elses work it helps build your eye and see how a master would tweak things, take as many notes written as you can, even things that seem trivial. So much of art is repetition.
And yea, see how long you can go without painting. If your line drawings arent really turning heads on their own, i think thats something to work on. A painting is just a finishing touch, the foundation is what truly matters. And composition would be a good thing to follow up with once you improve your drawings, spend a lot of time doing small thumbnail studies, I prefer by hand on paper, try to do hundreds if you can as composition is the very heart of what we're doing ;). Nathan fowkes course on it is decent, hes just really boring imo, i really liked robert watts specialty course on watts atelier. its masterclass, so you can just buy it once and take it, definitely very extensive and engaging. I cannot STAND boring teachers, id rather not take the class at all
