Hey thanks for the message I'm glad to give some advice.
First off don't feel too bad about not having had direction, in my own experience the beginning of studying is pretty vague and your really just learning to learn during that time as odd as that may sound. It was one of the most frustrating times for me, I over analyzed every single thing I did. I got some advice from sickbrush about taking a step back and just enjoying the process more, lest I ruin the joy of art for myself.
Do whatever you wanna do, at a bare minimum as long as your drawing and not slacking off that's progress. Try not to spread yourself too thin though, if your working on improving everything at once, everything is also gonna progress slowly and you might be discouraged. Seeing yourself improve is a great feeling.
Glad you did some self reflection and figured out what you wanna focus. On avoiding environments when you admire those most, I did illogical things too, It's like oh man I love illustrations, but all I draw is monsters and concepts D: been working on fixing that the last few months.
Just gotta realize when your avoiding something and tackle it, goodluck man. Hope this was helpful in some way :) anything specific you wanna know just lemme know.
