/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I've been told time and time again that mindless doodling won't make me improve and that deliberate practice is everything. Okay, makes sense. Then I am told that I have to draw as much as I can, everyday and generally the gains come with years of repetition.

I don't get it.

What am I supposed to study if I have to draw a lot, everyday for years? Deliberate practice is to pay maximum attention to a subject and analyze it thoroughly but you can't really do that for longer periods of time as it makes your brain tired pretty fast. Drawing without deliberate practice seems useless for me because I can't see getting any gains from it personally and it makes me frustrated. Am I supposed to draw shit for 16 hours and it will magically clicks someday?

I guess I am looking for a shortcut but it's because I feel like I am stuck and I don't know what to do. I want to get gains from everything I do but it's confusing.
