Drawing exercise can be pretty aimless without some intention behind them.That's why I pay attention to the quality of the lines, because I can't stand it when they're, for example, jagged. It gives the impression that I didn't put much effort into it.
I suggest dropping those exercise for now an opening a sketchbook so we can get a better idea of the thing you wanna draw.
When you say infrastructure i am not that sure what you mean by that. Do you mean like construction plan? Conceptual architectural drawing? Industrial design? What the purpose video game? Technical plan? Conceptual design for presentation to potential developer?
Don't invest your time repeating exercise that tell people nothing about your intention it best to be able to clearly communicate your intention. Draw first and this give us a portrait of your current skill and general direction so that we are more likely to help. You don't need to have perfect line to move on to the next thing on the list.
Perfectionism will no help you at first it can actually slow you down. It like trying to nail a nail perfectly every time it doesn't matter that much what matter is you get the nail down you can always redo a line but it just generally better to move on and come back in later stage to clean up the drawing. It ok to be loose and have ''sketchy line'' in most case and if you do technical drawing most likely you will be using tool to make the job alot easier but there also a good chance you will use digital software also so it really depend those tool will make clean up much easier and the quality of your line a lot less important than you might actually think they need to be.
So yeah better to start drawing and posting stuff you think you would like to draw also won't harm even if it just other people work atleast you give us a better idea of what you like just make sure to tell the people which image you made and what are the image you want to draw more like.
When I talk about infrastructure, I don't mean any of the things you mentioned. My goal is simply to get satisfaction from it because I've always enjoyed creating my own world in my mind. And if these drawings look more professional, I will publish them on social media or use them as prints on T-shirts for myself.
When it comes to perfectionism, I don’t pay as much attention to it as I used to. But to some extent, I still do, which makes me hesitant to suddenly try drawing something that requires more details, etc.
