personally, ive found the most value in prokos premium courses and watts online; it gave me the direction, appreciation for the medium and structure in my routine.
That and copying lots of the masters of anatomy books took me to where i can at least make a few bucks consistently.
bargue and the old school stuff like harold speed are great too, having a strong sense of direction is vital so you dont just have a vague idea of what you want and have a trajectory to go on. if youve got the cash, definitely invest in some courses, watts isnt for everyone (but man is it beautiful for those who can get into it,) but i think proko is pretty universal and i highly recommend his anatomy courses that are paid for, plus you get to keep them forever :)
I think the mullins stuff might be too buried in the painting realm; in my personal opinion i think youd grow more learning how to do nice long form figure and portrait studies in charcoal on paper if you can manage. painting is fun and stuff but really only pays off when you have values really under your thumb and edges. All of this is learned in charcoal and you'll probably grow much faster than studying just random photos and drawing a 3/4 head every now and then.
Consider it! <3
