hey man, i had a look at your sketchbook, and i'd say you should def draw a lot more ! your bargue studies have some mistakes, so you should try to spend a lot more time on them, some other artists are spending a hundred of hours on a single bargue study, i once did ( maybe 50 hours ) and it helped me so much to understand form ! Also you should avoid shading your stuff for now, it's not adding anything to your drawing, sometimes even making it worse. when you'll have a good eye for proportions and volumes, haching will help you rendering different textures and give a light direction . concerning your painting skills, do tons of studies from simple stuff such as fruits for now, it'll help you a lot !! keep it up !
