haha, maybe...
though i was always thinking as how you said... just lately many things made me start to think of it as a carreer, as a profession as well since it is the only thing i love with passion and couldn't stop whatever happened. and that makes me more determined about improvement and also it means some obligatories as well. i just have to find the balance between the devotion towards improvement and still the loosen up "fan factor", because indeed, if it's not fun still then it is waste of time~
haha i'm just bad and i want to learn EVERYTHING~
XD
okay, not everything just there is a looong list. computerart is on that because i do like what i could do if i'd get better but also wanna get better in some traditional arts as well, i always admire people with traditional skills... i'd like to get better in pencil, inking and aquarell.
and yes, mixing up media is really fun. and i often use photoshop to fix up my mistakes. ^^'
my usual combo is traditional lineart and digital colouring or shading.
ah..yeah..i should practice a bit from photos indeed... >,<

I'd make a list of what you want to improve, and then circle the most important things for you to improve, then draw art which improves those things. My latest one was colour, so I started out copying colour from photos to kinda feel how it works. Then I ventured out on my own. I'm getting better now, but there's alot to learn. It's taken me a year to get this far, but now most of my art looks better coloured rather than just some of it 
Don't just say 'improve using a pencil though when you mean that you want to improve your composition, or your dynamics, or facial expressions. Break your goals down to their simplest form. That way, they feel easier to accomplish and you will accomplish them That's what I do, and it seems to work for me.

You are probably right on making a list is useful and make you be able to follow your progress, hmm...
I do have my priotities yeah. Right now it's paneling and japanese painting style.. colours are somewhat further behind. I'm a bit impatient but...right now it is what I need.
Thanks for your thoughts =3
