Hey welcome to Crimson Daggers Hadorei :).
You've got some really nice studies there - I like how you've taken your time over them and given them care and attention. I also like your rendering skills, I see core shadows and reflected light in your renders (stuff I only recently learned about myself that really makes a difference to realism).
For anatomy studies, I recommend Proko's YouTube channel - high quality free content:

And I personally also studied from Michael Hampton's book Figure Drawing Design and Invention - I recommend it.
You have a lot of goals there - I suggest just picking a few of those to focus on first rather than trying to learn everything at once.
As for painting, I just started trying acrylics myself and am having great fun. Although I found it really difficult to get the right colours and values when I mix paint so I am starting off just doing monochromatic studies so at least I can get the values right to begin with before moving onto colour as well.
Good luck - let's do this!
