You can always draw what you want(by that i mean you don't need boring subject matter but sometime you kinda have to just because not everything is your cup of tea and something are drawn because they need to fill the space.
Choosing subject matter is similar to being in front of a blank page it easier to draw what you want but it not always what needed to be on the menu that day if there other subject matter that you would benefit from. So it in my opinion it ok to take time to determine what you want to draw and sometime it just better to challenge yourself with random subject matter just to make sure you avoid the ''always in my comfort zone'' which you know you be kind of struggling with.For example in the proportion issue well you kinda have to consciously decide to you know...not just do be doing the thing you feel good about because it not helping you progress. It about finding a middle ground of i know i can do something i done before but i need to try to get out of that box.
Personally i recommand to be a little bit more involve when choosing subject matter you certainly can choose what you draw on the spot but is it really giving me an opportunity to grow that often the angle i want to have when i choose subject matter.
You always have to also account the level of difficulity of a subject matter is realistic subject for me to tackle this right now? Is this above your my current skill set? You will be face with time where you bite more than you can chew and you need some moment of courage where you don't necessarily know if you will be able to pull it off and some moment when you will have to understand that something is missing and you need to go back and fix what was holding you back (being able to discern when you just want to quit because you simple can and quitting a project because burning out is going to do more damage than good that what give you longevity but certainly not using burn out as an excuse to drop the ball consistently sometime you kinda have to go regardless otherwise you risk developing the quitter excuse where you just trick yourself into feeling like you can't and that not courage that lazyness and being self serving to avoid that you have to have a high level of self control. Some day are hard yet quitting as it cost because quitting give you a feeling of imposter syndrome. Like you do something just to be something you can truly commit to. So doing art you really need to check your mental state because it partly a mind exercise.
It really in those hard moment when you become creative in problem solving this help you build perseverance and in those moment of introspection you understand yourself better.
