Yes i am saying it good to have an approach where you balance the fundamental as not to let any fundamental lag behind but that that generally speaking what work for me.
I find that it important to isolate the fundamental from one an other from time to time to reduce the level of complexity when your brain is trying to translate the more conceptual aspect of drawing to the paper. Some fundamental are more technical but some feel more intuitive because we dealt with them alot or we just have a brain that play well with certain topic.
In practical term you alternate with short period of focus study and you switch the fundamental every few week or so. Once in a while you make a recap of the fundamental into a more complex long form study as to see where your fundamental are lagging behind.
For example let say you study anatomy but you want to be a portrait artist you would not worry about studying the foot it not helping you in the long term sure eventually you might get tired of portrait and want to study anatomy more broadly but first you start with the basic of what general direction as the most logical structure like the feature of the face, the proportion how to deal with drawing hair and so on.
As a let say portraitist you are not just dealing with anatomy so you study color, light you probably also do a little bit of perspective probably not as much as other art but you still need concept like symmetry.
The problem to logic is that it not something that necessarly easy to figure out. It like walking in a forest you can only see small piece of the road. But you can also enlist guide that have taken similar route to help you get there faster.
Sorry i am gonna cut this short for right now don't want to force you to read wall of text.
Here probably a video that can help

and probably after if you want to complement
