I find myself going in cycles with this. I want to learn more things, and glue it to the katamari of my art skills. I keep finding myself doing this number: learn/reinforce something that is a fundamental piece of art knowledge -> adopt a new technique for something I already knew that amounts to a 'feat' -> pick up a new medium/do a bunch of work in a neglected medium -> pass go, collect 200 dollars and start again'
I don't mind this cycle, I just need to hurry it along faster.
For example, this year I studied human faces, and adapted what I learned to drawing cartoon people and furries, then I picked up acrylic paints, which lead to me studying color and brushwork, which I am refining as we speak.
