I totally agree with this, few years ago I stuck in mindset that I'm not good enough to draw anything 'big' so I was drawing only studies but actually didn't benefit from them at all. Currently first of all I'm working on 'big illustrations' and studies are only for a break or specifically as preparation to project. Learning new things is important but having skill of applying your knowledge to finished picture is even more important! Additional advantage : your portfolio is always full of fresh images :D
