Congrats on your first post :)
This forum isnt too active but i am always on so i can offer help.
I think proko and drawabox are fantastic resources, obviously proko being superior imo, but both are probably the strongest place to start for a beginner, or someone like me who's a clumsy fool and tried to skip a lot of the stuff you are now doing.
If you have a limited time, id suggest, learning something each day that you can verbalize, like write down in an intelligent way. it could be, pointing out a mistake you made, or learning an anatomy part, But yea, id reccomend if you have the money to get proko's courses and just do them and the assignments, multiple times if needed. Probably starting with the portrait drawing, then figure, then anatomy, and hold off on the others until youre pretty beast at those.
But again to peg on the limited time thing, ask yourself, "What did I learn from this drawing?" and it should get you on the right track. Yes mileage is clearly required, but thinking about where youre going wrong and fixing those things, will get you good fast. If youre smart about how you learn, it could mean the difference of years, even decades of how quickly you arrive at a desired skill level.
I think drawabox has like a 100 box challenge or something, so thatd be a good way to get some mileage in, and yes, the better you draw boxes, it will fine tune your eye to plane changes and stuff so it will be worth it to do and do correctly. If you want an idea of how not to study smart, look at the first 60 or so pages of my sketchbook to get an idea lol
