Man, I love your approach on studying! You're doing it right for sure :) Hard-core stuff, and I'm a sucker for those. Your pencil stuff is awesome, too! Keep doing what you're doing, it will all translate to digital real soon.
A note on the brush stuff: painterly brushstrokes, need a painterly brush. Or texture brush. Basically any brush that can simulate a real oil painting brush for example. But watch out for those, because if you don't know what you're doing (like, ehm, I don't a lot of the times) it might mess up your edges. Some of the best brushes around imo though are Jama Jurabaev's brushes.
