Hey there Ethan, nice start here :).
In response to your point about focus, I will pass on to you something that someone shared with me in these every forums :).
In my experience my art journey has been like a slow upward spiral.
I have found myself focussing on maybe just one thing until I get tired of it or feel like I have had a major break through and then moving onto another thing.
However sooner or later I find myself going back round again and studying the same things but in more depth.
So for me my spiral kinda looks like this:
perspective - figures - light - colour - rendering - invention
And then back around again.
Also because I have a full time job that is not related to art, my progress is very slow, so one cycle of the above could take me a year or so.
Also along-side the studies, I've found it useful to make some art just for fun to diffuse the heaviness of studying all the time.
Hope that helps :).
Good luck and keep going :).
