The examples I posted are artists who don't use photobashing. I think they are just really good at analyzing flaws in their work and improving stuff with every new illustration. Also you can learn from reference that you use to produce finished piece of work.
Another example is concept artist David "Vyle" Levy. I remember on CA forums he did post regular digital life paintings for a while but it wasn't enormous amounts in comparison to some people. He mentioned that he learns most about the specific subject right before the project. He doesn't have to keep doing cast studies or still life forever. I'm pretty sure it would help him in some way but sometimes it can be counterproductive when you can just focus on improving the actual work you're going for.
