As
well, it sounds like you've made some progress in your thinking already which is good to hear. And i don't really want to keep harping on the issue as you are right that we've pretty much reached a close to the conversation now. But I do just want to point out that this quote of yours is kind of curious to me, and maybe this is the heart of the issue.
If you did a still life of compund shapes it probably would be soulless, but it would only be because you don't put any soul into it. The truth is that would actually be a pretty good study for you, but you have a real aversion to it. why? And why do you need a lot of volume on the page rapidly? Who's watching the clock?
Something to leave you to think about is the fact that for most serious art students, though I don't speak for everyone, those soulless still life studies are actually pretty enjoyable. I've done plenty, and I'd like to do more, because I find it interesting. We study art because we are curious and actually want to learn it, not just to get through it. If you have to force yourself to do the study, then I'm sorry, you will not succeed. You have to like what your doing and be interested in it. You can't be dragged into study kicking and screaming, do it as fast as possible, and then expect good results. You have to actually want to do it. It seems like maybe you do, but maybe you still need to work through some things first. Good luck!
