Does anyone here like "studying" art? (self.creative)

I find that I really love learning how to improve in art. It brings me unrivaled joy to figure out things like how a hand looks doing this, or how to draw a head doing that.

However, I'm wondering if any of you like the process of art studies? I know that I tend to put them off because I'd rather be drawing cute characters doing cute things than doing a figure study for an hour. I like art studies as much as the next person does, I just find it more fun to draw personal projects and incorporate references as a way of studying.

I go through phases. I do pixel art (occasionally, it's been months since I did anything) and sometimes I'll do like a few weeks of nonstop studies, and then afterwords I'll do nothing for a year lol
