I've recently taken a break from my main medium (3d) to try my hand at learning basic drawing. I have 0 experience with 2d drawing, but I want to get into so that I can create basic sketches for the stuff I'm trying to make in 3d.
This is the level of skill I'm hoping to reach: 1, 2, 3, [4]

Can drawabox get me there?
And if it can't on its own, what should I pursue afterward? Thanks in advance.

Drawabox primarily explores one thing - developing students' spatial reasoning skills, so they can better bridge the gap between understanding what they're drawing as marks on a flat page, to understanding how they represent things in three dimensions. Someone else put it quite aptly as turning the page into your 3D playground.
That is an important skill to develop, and one that helps immensely in drawing from one's imagination and creating new things, but it is not everything you'll need. It's a starting point.
In terms of what you'd do next however, that would be a question for /r/ArtistLounge or /r/learnart instead.
