Hrmmmmmm.... I think that depends on a lot of different variables?
like it really depends on just what im studying bc i think my approach varies. sometimes i like to try and break down in my head what their step by step process could have been, or sometimes im looking at very specific things an artist does. How they do their composition, how their shapes go, where their strokes naturally thicken or thin, their forms, coloring, shadows, highlights, design.... I have ADHD so uhhh i kinda think about a lot of things and as many things as i can think about when im studying a specific artist.
often doing redraws on my own time to try and replicate their art, but i'd replicate it while also building from my own theorized construction. i think this would probably be my best way to study in general? often times i'll replicate as much of an image as i can instead of just what i want to focus on too.
honestly i havent sat down and done a good study in a while so i'm not totally sure if this is a good answer?? ive always been self taught so im sorry i cant really explain in the best of ways.
my general day to day study is just
>surround myself in high quality art (to me)
>every social media platform of mine is often full of drawings
>whenever im scrolling and a drawing makes me stop for more than a few seconds to look at it i'll keep looking for a while more
>every drawing i look at i try and list a positive and a negative
>something the artist did good and something they could work on

>actual studying is mostly recreating another artist's drawings and/or process if possible
>im often taking note of shape, forms, unique lighting, strong lighting/shadows, bold compositions, silhouette
>also on the look for unique styles good or bad or weird

uhhh yeah not sure if this is really a good answer i think i rambled a little bit but if you could be more specific about the subject of study that'd make it a little easier to explain??
im kinda just always studying art 24/7
