Heya!
I'd also like to add that figure drawings don't have to be (and shouldn't be) your primary learning source for drawing the human figure! From all my friends who do art, we all sort of approach figure drawing different and some don't even like it at all!
I personally use figure drawing as a way to solidify the things I've learned; I study muscles, the skeleton, etc. and then I do figure drawings and see how quickly I can identify those landmarks and simplify what I've learned! So instead of seeing it as 'moving forward' with what you've learned from figure drawing, it can also be useful to use it as a reminder tool versus the other way around!
I am an animator and I do my fair share of illustrations, and I've recently been trying to up my game in that regard but I've felt my anatomy lacking though I like my posing well enough! So my primary use of figure drawing is as mentioned above!
^_^ ! Learning art is super non-linear and I feel like you'll always find yourself coming back to the basics throughout your journey
