Definitely express yourself dude, you should draw for fun as well as for study. You'll see in some of the sketchbooks here, people post studies alongside art-for-fun.
I see that people have already suggested drawabox and Loomis to you, I reckon that is good advice. Drawabox has a sections on drawing every-day objects using basic forms and also drawing animals using basic forms, but last time I looked it did not have a section on drawing human figures - so you can switch over to Loomis when you get to figure-studies.
But also try to study from life or photo reference as much as you can - that way you get to build up a visual library. When you study from life try to picture the subject in terms of simple forms and sketch those in first, then build on top of that.
Hope that helps a bit :).
Good luck dude!
