Sup Jeremy. Nice work so far - great dedication!
Now! As far as I can see, what I can suggest to you is to slow things down a little. based on your studies and sketches in general - it feels like you're rushing it, take it slow and steady and try and really understand each step you are doing. For example the way you did your apple study is a good start!
As far as drawing/rendering technique (particularly with charcoal), I'd recommend you watch Stan Prokopenko's youtube tutorials? (You may probably have seen them before) He literally helps you step by step with drawing, gestures and shading. Follow each tutorial carefully (multiple times if necessary!) and I'm sure you'll do great drawings in no time.
