Nice updates man, I'd definitely say ditto on what Adzerak said, rather then trying to focus on honing just one set of skills at a time, I think it'd be a better approach to just mix it up frequently, if you need more order then maybe alternate days between imagination, construction and observation drawing.
In my experience over focusing on only one of those can be a bad habit to get into, in my first few years of art it took me ages to get back into imagination drawing because my ideas had dried up and given I had a better eye everything I was doing from imagination looked horribly shit(which made me feel like I should go study more leading to a sorta loop), studying can easily become a sorta safe space atleast in my experience.
Likewise I have a friend who only draws from imagination and while he has awesome ideas, his lack of study means that even after years of drawing the dude doesn't even know the basics of form drawing.
