ok anon I'm a beg (picrel a sketch from some 38 days ago and an attempt at a hard edge painting just so you can judge my advice based on my work) but if I may try and give some advice:
>Should I do them all probably right?
This feels like a kind of hyper-ambitious planning many people here, including me, are guilty of having done but realistically it usually doesn't work out and I think you will agree with me that it's a very big task and my advice would be to just choose one, see it through and then decide where to go next.
>8 hours at most isn't nearly enough time to explore something that takes like a year on DAB
I only went through the first few lessons of Peter Han's course, so again take my advice with a grain of salt, but the point isn't to master it all in 8 hours, the point is for him to give you the theoretical knowledge in each lecture and then for you to practice applying it by yourself afterwards before you move on and then throughout the whole course, going back to and refining concepts you've learned earlier.

My advice would be to choose one course that you feel drawn to, preferably one that's touted as good and by a good teacher, and then go at it fully. Don't just watch the lectures, find your own references and try drawing from imagination, too, practice is important.

In general, I think you should also do timed practice, here are some of the websites I've found nice, you can choose a timer and then you get automatically served different kinds of photos - there's people, hands, feet, heads, animals, plants and buildings

What has helped me the most was the start of Vilppu's Drawing Manual (I didn't get too far kek) and Hampton's Figure Drawing - learn to see curves and forms and to work with and draw gesture (use the 30 and 60 second timers on the above websites to practice this), a gesture is the building block on which you then plaster forms to create anatomy.
