No worries! That's actually exactly the spot I was in till two years ago. I mostly did illustrative work for commissions so I was heaps better at painting/rendering compared to drawing. What helped the most for that is plain ol' mileage, can't escape it.

I've only ever done one single Bargue study. I used to go to an atelier for about a year and they had all kinds of casts there, usually posed with different items etc or cloth. I have a cast I bought from a museum that I use for studies now but desu I haven't had the time to do any of those in a long time. I used to be based in Greece and you can buy cast copies there. You can probably find cheaper ones on amazon! My apartment is really small and setting up for charcoal studies can be super messy. You can absolutely do cast studies from photographs too, but if you can study from life. There's a lot of stuff cameras distort. I usually do a mix of both.
