Also, being bad at digital isn't an excuse for a lot of the mistakes you made there. Digital is just a medium, things like understanding anatomy should carry over even if your technique is shit on it. They didn't in your case, so I must conclude you're just not very good yet.

I include yet because this is a place of learning. Stop being a cocky shit and go hit up the /beg/ threads that may actually benefit you.

I can do studies decently well, but the skill never seems to translate into my own art. I'm close to professional skill level at linework/comicking stuff, but nowhere near good enough a painter to make a living doing it, and those are the only skills the western world cares about for most art jobs.

Will continuing to do this eventually make me decent? I understand anatomy and all of that stuff, and that painting needs to be treated like you're working with clay, etc, but my non-referenced paintings are just straight garbage.

Here's a study from earlier today. No reference painting soon to follow.
