The technical progress is good but nonetheless the picture on the right has little artistic value

There's different skillsets and numerous approaches you can take to learn them, therefore whatever advice I'd give would be pretty subjective so take it with a grain of salt

After I did Keys I went through Perspective Made Easy, it's really basic stuff and you'll definitely need a more extensive course later but it gives a good grounding. Also Line is something you can never learn too soon, for that I'd recommend Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching - you should be doing at least a page of those exercises daily.

Once that's done you can move on to other stuff like gesture but if you feel burdened and have low morale from slogging through the fundies without producing something then take the 'classical' approach for a while and study work like pic related to the best of your ability; there's an excellent course called Fundamentals of Drawing by Mogilevtsev, used in the Russian Academy, that's great for this
