Consistency and trying new thing is a key element to breakthrough otherwise you plateau.

There is certainly a point of diminishing return where the brain get tired of the same thing over and over again.

But if you train your brain to change subject constantly don't be surpris if you can't focus on a specific topic.

Practicing concentration can be done through the use of personal project. But this train all kind of fundamental which give slow result in learning.There are best use as some kind of check point to determine how your fundamental are evolving and pinpointing area of weakness aswell as to identify your strong fundamental.

Target study are what most fear but they can also become comfort zone where one loose it ability of imagination because it a observational heavy approch to learning it the repetitive type of careful study that is use to memorize and dissect a certain fundamental.

I think what most people leak is an understanding of what fundamental are but not only that they leak the practical exercise to turn a theorical concept into exercise that can evolve their skill.

What someone who leak the understanding those fundamental will do is simply draw what he see but will leak the rule to make those drawing evolve they will stay stuck mostly in the lineart phase and as they try to incorporate more realism they are meet with fundamental concept such as light and perspective which are very rigid fundamental that are complex subject matter that can overwhelm them very easily if not approch with a crafted approch from simple to complex.

This make them do scene where you can never see the horizon line and where light on surface might be inconsistent or incorrect.

Here an exercise if you are up for a challenge draw 3 cube put atleast one of them on an other cube and pick a perspective maybe it be 1 point 2 point or 3 point perspective.If that not enough decide of a light source you must make sure that the cast shadow of the cube that sit on top of the other cube cast is shadow on the cube underneath it.

This exercise serve to determine where you are in your understanding of perspective and light.You don't have to do any shading you only have to indicate where the cast shadow area would fall and you must have the horizon line at the center of your page you must state what perspective you used.

Hopefully you do it for yourself but i can't stress enough that having fun is as important as understanding there is certain thing that just suck the fun out of thing and i would say those are precisely perspective and light and shadow.

Perfection is unmeasurable therefor it impossible to reach it.
