Art Fundementals?
I'm not in a position to tell people yet. Never really did commisions or had a career job. If I had to describe my skill level, a subpar hobby artist. So take the advice below with a tub of salt. There are better people to tell you this information. It is my understanding on the subject matter after researching and life experiences.
There's objective and subjective points in art, fundamentals are objective, everything else is subjective. The Art fundementals are the basic building blocks or tool sets used to create. On Fundamentals, there are always more to learn. But defining what the fundementals are is a challange in its self. It's not straight forward, heavily overlapping and subject matter related. Ask 5 different people, get 5 simlar but different answers. If I could only pick 5, Form and Structure/Construction and Deconstruction, color theory, composition, perspective, line/markmaking. With a 6th hidden fudemental that won't help you get better, but keep you drawing. Finding the Fun. Learn to enjoy the mere process of drawing. Marc brunet answered in a video, he defined the fundementals of drawing as GESTURE, PERSPECTIVE, CONSTRUCTION, ANATOMY, COLOR/LIGHT, COMPOSITION, DESIGN. At draw paint academy website, they defined the fundementals as color, composition, value, form and structure, brushwork, perspective. Draw a box unconfortable here , defined them as Spatial Reasoning, Markmaking, Observation but specific to draw a box.
There are also four loose modes of art that we can draw in: practice, play, pleasure and preformance. Practice is the deliberate attept at improving while drawing. Play is exploring what can be done, experimenting. Pleasure is just doing what you like, your comfort zone. Preformance is creating finished pieces using the tools you have to archieve an outcome. It is worth noting that Practice is not Performance and play doesn't mean pleasure.
