The 10000 Hour Rule - Art Edition - 7626/10,000

Sir-Cam - In a way, I'm sure you're totally right. Spending a serious amount of time learning to paint drapery, or foliage, or hair would be a more effective way to learn that thing. However there's a danger of narrowing the focus too much. I don't really have a desire to be the best drapery-painter around. This challenge just came about as a way to convince myself to paint more as I was starting out, and it's kind of stuck longer than I thought. I guess the goal is to be a well rounded "concept artist and illustrator" eventually. But maybe that's too narrow or too broad. Maybe I should be focusing exclusively on character design, or broadening the focus to include plein air painting and still lives to be more of an "artist". I'm not really sure, and to be honest I have a relatively short attention span, jumping from subject to subject is a nice way of staying interested ;). Much appreciated though, sorry if I make no sense lol.
