I spend a minimum of 20 hrs per week actually painting or drawing and I don't know how much time on top of that researching and trying to learn more. I don't think I could stop if I wanted to.

As far as time spent researching, I have a suggestion: If you have the time or inclination, and it sounds like you do, I highly recommend spending an hour or two a day for the next few months studying all the past threads in this forum. All the critiques, all the materials and techniques sections, all the marketing posts, and especially all the threads on how to photograph people to get good reference photos.
Without a doubt, this forum got me to where I am now in my portraiture career.
