The standard process of practice + learn more anatomy/construction etc. Having works of an artists you like to refer to as a standard set also works pretty well for me. Just take time, sir down and try to analyse what they are doing right and you're not + make notes of it.
One thing I also notice what a lot of drawers dont do is try to paint or color things. imo both should be practiced. Painting will force you to consider forms and surfaces wraping in 3D as well as how to show it, which aids drawing a lot. That said, I do think its possible to be able to draw well before you can paint, but that would raise your expectations and standard really high above your painting ability. This makes it quite hard if you want to go back and learn to paint since you'll be stuck feeling really bad about your paintings/ not have any fun for a much longer time.
