Description
Need to draw more, need to pay attention, forms and lines piss me off.If I could only time skip my awareness couple months down the line, that'd be fantastic. (With benefits of my self doing art everyday for 18 hours)

YOU, sir, should be supported. I'm getting enough recognition as it is rn in all seriousness xD But you seem to know a lot more than I do about digital painting, colors and values, how'd you get into that?

All in due time ^^
I'm not really that good at values or colors, I know some basics, but haven't had enough experience to see how they work.
Recently I started applying a methodical ways of learning, like take your art apart, see what's wrong, is it Angle? Composition? Perspective? Flow line? Beauty line? Proportions? Form? Anatomy? Values? Color? Etc. Then take the aspect you want to improve and practice drawing your things with only that being the focus.
I'm seriously jealous of how you can see form of what you draw, so my current goal is to learn how to properly place things in space and see in form.

Seeing form in 3d space is actually where I myself see my biggest strengths too. Which in turn makes you a good observer. Seeing 3d forms is one of the most important aspects of drawing if you ask me, it makes stylization that much easier. I see you are a very methodical learner. I couldn't bring myself to do that, although I like to analyze what makes my drawings great and what pulls them down, whenever I actually get down to drawing itself I loose all my focus and only pay attention to the general shape and style. The rest is pure muscle memory. I have to get a feeling for everything I draw, I need to feel the character in my fingers for me to know where to put each line. Sounds quite weird and artsy but it's what works best for me. As I said, you seem to me like you favored a more methodical, analytical approach to practise, which might suit you better. Drawing is always about character, your character in particular, especially when it comes to style.Β Different people always have different approaches which work best for them.

The analytical approach is just because a year ago I started taking my 3d skills as a professional, which in turn makes you just think differently of what you need to do. I'm actually stuck in a rut with my 3D work as I just don't get enough freelancing, and getting into a company is taking a toll on my mentality. Few friends suggested I should start doing commissions online, which in turn just made me look at my art again from that perspective. Hopefully I don't fuck up.
Also I don't try, can't force a style upon myself atm, comes out all wrong and uninspired, so I just try to go with the flow and see what comes out. One day I'll have some sort of style for my stuff, but up until then all my studies have 1 basic principle, make them as accurate to the source material in terms of what I need to learn.

I would not worry about style if I were you. Unlike most things you can learn, your style is not an active decision you can make. Trust me, if you just draw enough, you will eventually end up with a style that will be unique to you. "Style" is just a fancy word to describe the way you draw, paint, etc.

Yah, agree with that, I'm in no rush. Versatility over presentation and all.
Though I know I'll be staying clear of those overly rendered styles, I like the messy ones, it leaves the mind to fill in the blanks.
But gotta learn how to render first D:
