I'm saying it's possible to reach proficiency from doing only studies necessary for particular illustration you're aiming for instead of drawing for months only life/photo study of every single pose, body part, animal, landscape imaginable (so that you might be "ready" one day). Maybe the exception would be animation where you need to learn about the totality of the motion so constant learning of gesture is important.
I'm will risk to say that you can even incorporate some information in illustration/concept by just having reference on the side and looking at it instead of producing additional studies. Or you can make a study of mountain range from photo and add monster in the foreground. You have two birds killed with one stone this way. Illustration becomes studying at the same time.
