I was about to yap about habits, but if you're motivated enough, we're past that crap. One important thing, what do you want to draw in general, what's your goal?
Anyways, from my point of view, the first thing you have to learn drawing is lines and rhythms and composition. Because if you can't draw a couple of beautiful simple lines, and arrange them beautifully, then drawing a beautiful landscape or living thing will be a huge problem (I had my experience).
Start doing those standard line sheets, search them up, get your hand and shoulder steady, not too relaxed, not too tense. Do hatching. Gradients. Train your feel of gradients. It's ultra important. Everything is gradients and rhythms. Lines are not even lines, they're like very sharp gradients. But don't stuff your head with line techniques for now, just learn to rhyme them lines, u feel me nyagga. When you've added some line knowledge to your muscle memory go search some refs, some objects or someone else and draw silhouettes using clear sharp strokes. This will train you some basic line proportions. Very basic exercise.
Next big thing is basic dynamics. Try giving those singular lines some properties, some thought. Like make a line feel heavy or light or fast or sad or joyful or whatever. Give the line SOVL. Because if you can't give sovl to a couple of simple lines then... yeah, the same with more complex stuff. I mean, if the purpose is to be artistic about it. But if the goal is just redrawing stuff, then thinking about it isn't crucial. It's something like human figure drawing, but you simplify it into a single line. Just try to learn beautifulness and rhythm. Don't add 3d shapes yet, because not only they'll be as crappy as your lines, but you'll also add perspective into the equation. And it distracts nubies much.
Next huge thing is composition. Btw feel free to try drawing any complex things you want in the meantime, don't make drawing into cube edging. You know about that "draw 100 cubes a day" right? I'm gazillion percent sure it's a roof ratish psyop to make nudraws buy shitty courses or leave drawing. Don't do that. Anyways, composition is like statics which made out of dynamics, in other words big thing made out of small things. It's the harmony of the whole picture. Division in black and white spots (not equal to lighting). Focus spots. This can be simple like some abstract minimalist crap and complex like Michelangelo crap (this shit is kinda deep, you better get some tutorials here (and everywhere else)). To train basic composition search some refs again, but this time some big scenes that hits instead of singular objects. Pick good ones and then try to paint the same picture but only using black and white color. That's the nucomposer exercise. Very cool. After some time you will learn that composition and proportion are brothers (or xisters perhaps), but I'm not going to get further into it, this shit is really huge, like look at the pyramid in the picture. If you fuck this up, everything else crumbles. Treat it like taking a good photograph. It doesn't matter how beautiful the landscape is, if you tilted your camera the wrong way.
Anyways that's just a general direction I recommend. You always can try anatomy or perspective or values or line technique or colors, but whatever you try, you can't ever get away with it without the rhythm and composition. They're fundamental fundamentals. Always here. Even in your walls. Observe nature too. Patterns much.
Also when searching tutorials, avoid "5 shits every artist farts wrong" or "You HAVE to watch this or you won't learn drawing and your mom dies" type of videos. Especially that nyagger norwood or artwood or whatever. He's the pinnacle of this shit. They just want to clickbait and sell your their shitty courses. The only worthy courses are those where they teach you some particular technique or style (Craig Mullins for ex. idk). The general shit is easy learnable by yourself by constant drawing.
Holy wall of text, I'm not reading all'at
