Hi fren, I'm going to give you a radical suggestion that a lot of other teachers won't tell you, but it'll work wonders, trust me.
Find a pane of glass and a marker that you can use to draw on top of that pane of glass. Make sure you can easily wipe away the marker lines from that glass wtih just a tissue. You might need to experiment a bit. I think sharpie fineliner might work.
Get a nice drawing book, say, Loomis, and trace a drawing from loomis onto that glass.
Then, copy that same drawing the best you can, on a piece of paper. This is your study.
The next thing is to overlay that glass pane tracing on top of your drawing. How close are you? How far off were you? Find just one thing to correct. Remember that. Now, copy the drawing again, trying to eliminate that mistake. Now overlay the glass again. How did you do? Find one more thing to correct. Keep going until you've eliminated a bunch of mistakes, then move onto another reference image to study
You can do this whole process much easier if you get a digital tablet though. A Huion costs like $40 bucks nowadays, very affordable. Holding the glass up above your paper and trying to study your mistakes can cause your arm muscles to cramp.
This is the fastest way to improve. Learn the front view head, the side view head, and the 3/4 head, and you can draw any head you want for the rest of your life. Do the same on the rest of the body
This is the way I learned to draw cubes, actually. I learned this from Ernest Watson.

I think painting and figure drawing overlap, but also have radically different visual libraries. I have no knowledge of lighting on form, basically.
Another incredible study from you, btw, great job

nice. You can study heads now if you want! Also, if Bridgman is wearing thin on you, find other anatomy books! I like TACO anatomy a lot
