I think one thing i'll throw into this discussion.
Everyone talks about how you need to draw a lot to improve, which is true, but nobody ever talks about how drawing at not your best actually can send you backwards. I see it all the time. People putting in 12 hours a day, and they are going backwards.
Your brain is a sponge for habits, everytime you spend drawing that same dumb face with the same dumb expression that you usually do (everyone does this), you are etching that into the walls of your head, and if you do it enough you'll make a habit that will take years of active effort to overcome.
Discipline isn't just about drawing, it's about drawing only when you are 100%, doing it regularly and making sure you are pushing the limits of what you can do everytime.

Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
