Then after the practices, take breaks and draw whatever comes to mind.
It's up to you on how long that burst period is, since everyone's attention spans and motivational thresholds are different. Do it in collective bursts dedicated to one topic at a time. Try not to hyperfixate on one element to improve on for too long, or you'll burn yourself out. No matter the findings, accept the results and move forward. Then ACCEPT what results you have, objectively look at your work, highlight what you think could be done differently to suite your tastes, and redo your practices to those adjustments you noted to see if that truly is your preferred approach. Most importantly though, work on one aspect to improve at a time. Similar looks, different means to get there. Digitally, you have to use the smudge tool and a round, rough brush to look like a thumb. Traditionally, charcoal can be smudged with your thumb. Digitally, you need a different brush tool that applies like a stamp. IE: Traditionally, watercolor splotches can be applied easily by getting a lot of water and dripping the pigment wherever you want. Sure, your end result can LOOK traditional, but the means to get there are not exact. I found what helped me was to stop expecting digital art to behave like traditional, and consider it a whole different medium where I'm learning a new way to apply art. Are you comparing your line work, coloring, figure drawings, still life, or composition of your digital art to your traditional? And what mediums do you use traditionally? Where do you want to improve? Help me better understand your expectations.
