I understand what I think you're trying to say OP and I feel for you and have what I consider to be a decent answer, or at least the best that I have come up with.

Even Amundsen is one of my many art icons and he said this during a stream, [when asked about whether one should just return to the steady grind as usual] "no, f**k steady grind, steady grind is a real good way to get depression, so much of what you need to know is learned simply by DOING". I've tried to emulate that advice in my own work but don't really enjoy things like monotonous master and photo studies.

So I found something of a compromise.

Draw whatever you want, but EVERYTHING you draw must be accompanied by at least 10 reference images, that is the best way I have been able to come up with rapid improvement while still doing what you enjoy.

you cannot just bypass studies from life or masters, but you can integrate them into your pieces, they may take waaay longer to complete (mine do) but it is very enjoyable a process.

good luck art anon.
