Slapper Don't count the hours it takes, do it as slow and careful as you need to get it right, like Amit said you will naturally speed up. It's tempting to try and rush and speed draw things but resist that! be slow and careful - even in a 2 min gesture drawing you should still be 'slow and careful' - although it looks fast to someone watching. If you try and speed things you usually end up with result you aren't happy with, so the time you save was kind of wasted anyway (in a way). Of course there is speed drawing that's loose and free and creative but for the sake of studies and illustrations careful is the way to go! (speaking from experience of rushing too many things and getting frustrated by it). About hours of study, I think 1hour a day you will improve, but slowly, 3hours+ and you will improve much quicker, 6hours+ if you have time and really really wanna get good.
Some skulls, from ref then memory like Ihor suggested before, I can really feel the benefit (although my memory one is wrong, but it's just the first go). Then a house in perspective - warming up for architecture studies.
