There is nothing wrong with studying anything at any point - but it is important to understand and accept that studying more advanced concepts now (like portraiture) will inevitably mean that certain things aren't going to make as much sense to you now as they might later. That is not a bad thing, it's just a fact of life.
There are of course other reasons to dive right into those topics - the most obvious being interest. If you're interested in drawing faces, sure you should dive into drawing them immediately, but you should still give yourself time to learn the things that underpin that concept.
To that point, you should ask this question over on /r/learnart to get some alternative opinions. This subreddit is actually reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here, which focuses only on the core fundamentals of drawing and does not get into more complex topics such as portraiture and figure drawing.
