The more I see what type of work pro artists post on daily basis, the more I realise that typical studies (like copying photos or pages from anatomy book) doesn't really help after you go past certain level. It's probably more about spending more time and energy into illustrations/concepts than painting studies all week. I know one succesful fantasy illustrator who barely does any studies and is pretty rusty when it comes life drawing. Yet he can do amazing work and keeps getting better.
