How do you guys handle studies? It's been a long while since I did any studies so I decided to study a pic from the ref thread. But I feel completely aimless, studying for the sake of studying isn't studying at all, I feel like I'm just reproducing like an idiot and maybe picking up on a thing or two, so I left it here. This is probably a dumb question, but let's say you know your weaknesses, how do you get better at them by studying? how do you go about the whole process of picking refs and studying from them? any of you do studies regularly for the sake of studying?

Btw, I know it's unfinished, but how did I do?
