Hey man! Really great stuff here! About applying your studies etc. that you mentioned and "study sickness". I had that problem alot before, I studied all the time but never really applied it to anything and it really stunted my skill growth alot I think, what I did to cure myself of that sickness was to start doing alot of sketches from imagination and let them suck, forcing myself to finish them and doing stuff like that every single day, and also when I did studies I didn't just do random stuff. Like for example if I were painting a monster for a client I wouldn't study female faces on my study time.
What I'm trying to say is that it's vital to do studies that are directly linked to your original work. Because what you want at the end of the day is to make good original artwork that you can have in your portfolio etc. studies are just a way to practice your skill so you are able to do that.
Oh and good drawing skill is the foundation of which everything else rests on.
Sorry for this rant, ended up being way to long but I hope some of it made sense. You seem to be putting in alot of effort and it is already starting to show from page 1 so just keep working hard dude! <3
