Hi Zearthus, glad to see you have sorted out a direction with some introspection and meditation. It is a great practice to do.
I just wanted to add that there is no right way to practice. Not at all. If it doesn't seem right to you or enjoyable the way people tell you to do it, then change it up! Nobody is in charge of your reality but you, so you may as well customise it to your needs and wants. I started just speedpainting every day with no intense focus on fundamentals and while I did eventually start to do this a little, it never became a very big part in my schedule and still hasn't because it didn't seem totally necessary to go OTT on it. I'm not saying don't study, and you seem to have a good work ethic, but if you don't want to do 100 grayscale master studies a week, don't! Make sure you get some enjoyment out of the entire process, even the studies.
I focus on environments mostly now so if youmhave any questions feel free to ask. Good luck!
