Here a few pillar of self learning

Direction
Priority
Structure
Simple Repetition to Complex Repetition
Feedback

The problem of self learning is that the exercise are not the most common share topic.

The problem you have right now is you have no feedback loop if my assumption are correct you have nothing that scream at you from time to time to ''reassure you that'' there is a ''sense of direction'' and an understading and a mastery of what is practice.

Personally as long as you draw and show what you draw you should not worry right away if how it done is ''wrong'' or not. That leak of direction will show on itself and mostly likely it will be corrected through proper feedback if you have a certain degree of lucky but you can't assume everything will be gold nugget of critism.

Right now how to practice cannot be establish since you don't show anything or stated any priority or direction.

There is a structure to how thing build on top of each other. Would you learn to draw building without perspective? That would be possible but very limiting. So as we can see from this example yes there is not necessary a need to know how to order thing you can get a result but if we understand priority and structure we can get a better sense of direction that actually do not limit the outcome. Would you draw a ball in the dark? How would you know it a ball if it doesn't have value? Would it not be just a circle?

When you have no ''teacher'' you have no self correcting mechanism or ''Structure''this is why observational drawing is a pillar of learning to draw because by drawing what we know we can see how reality put structure to what we see. We no longer learn from a single source we learn from deduction and share knowledge.

In simple word the answers to your question is found mostly by doing and observing and assembling process and reproducing step that have been successful done before but that a to a certain degree depend on the intention(direction) and what information find you as you search for them.

You can't expect a well formulated answers if there is no ''data'' to extrapolate a answers that fit the question. A topic is a great start but it doesn't give use a starting point otherwise we have to assume you are at the very beginning of learning that fundamental.

Perfection is unmeasurable therefor it impossible to reach it.
