This subreddit is specifically reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here. It's a course that explores what we believe to be the "core" fundamentals of drawing in a structured, exercise-based way. Each lesson includes specific homework assignments with explicit quantities, and students are only asked to give themselves as much time as they personally require to perform them to the best of their current ability (rather than prescribing a specific amount of time, or a specific expectation of quality). They then submit that work for feedback, ensuring that they're not working in a vacuum, or relying on their own judgment (which at this point would not be developed enough to be useful).

For this question, which is definitely more general in nature, I'd recommend asking over on /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw.
