You should choose to train on a subject matter that you like. If you want to draw moe you don't have to to draw buildings or statues.
As long as you have the responsibility of going out of your comfort zone and learning from different sources once in a while besides what you want to draw you won't stagnate.
Anatomy and learning the structure of everything is supplementary, you can do it later down the line.
The times you didn't feel like drawing will feel like a waste later down the line.
Don't forget to prostrate yourself, learn from other artists, learn from anyone you can. By accepting that you have much to learn you open yourself up to improving, and by looking at other's art you see, years, decades, centuries, millennia of collaborative problem solving that you can build on to improve.

Part 4) Cognition
Look at your hands
do you see your hands?
You aren't, you are looking at them, but you are not seeing much.
You aren't seeing them, because you don't know what you are looking at.
Artists starting out often think they have ADD, memory problems, or imagination problems.
The truth is, their cognition is not developed yet in said direction, therefore they can look all they want, but when they close their eyes they won't be able to fill in the details, fill in the gaps.
Specifically in art it is also referred to as "vision" or "sight". Essentially, it's like a language you don't yet know how to interpret. It just sounds like a jumbled mess.
With very few exceptions, you are not too stupid to draw, you likely do not have a memory, imagination, or attention problems. As you draw more, your sight will develop, and as it develops your drawings will get better and your sight will get better. Essentially you are a baby learning how to walk. Bare with it. Actually being able to perceive our visual world is breathtaking.
