Hi DarlingDove! its good to see you posting again. 
I know how you feel, learning the basic fundamentals can be.... tedious and un-motivating at times. I think its really good that you are drawing what you like to draw, and if you keep at it you WILL improve! I also felt the same way when I was learning these basic exercises, but I decided to just draw what I enjoyed. Of course still study the fundamentals but try and incorporate what you enjoy to draw into the fundamentals. And I see you are already doing this, good work! and keep drawing!
