Sycra has a video in which he says that one's art journey is like swimming through an ocean, and as you progress you find yourself in the middle of the ocean, anywhere you look you just see water around you. Its kind of how i feel like now. The stuff I wanted to achieve when I started drawing are pretty much all gone at this point, and i really don't know where to head now. How do you guys deal with this feeling? How could i find out again what I really want to achieve? Too many directions and you have to choose one. This stands for studies too, as you are getting your fundamentals laid down, there are more and more directions and I find it harder to choose what to learn about next because there are too many choices.

Just get through learning the fundamentals first. Do exercises that help you build up on a few fundamentals per day. Make yourself deadlines to finish some, for others that are more important to your learning spend more time on them and work on them daily until you finish. Go for accuracy over all else for right now but if you can't fix something just work through it, you'll figure it out later.
Start with gestures, drawing what you see rather than symbols, value, form, and basic anatomy. These may take you a whole year of work to get good with but don't give up. Keep working daily.

I think you misunderstood my question, i'm well into learning all these stuff, and i did not stop grinding them heavily, but the further i progress the more lost I feel, and I feel like when i get there it will be pointless to be there.

Then if you're really past that point maybe you should do something creative or feeelance. Look into art fields you hadn't thought about before, maybe instead of portraiture you are more of a still life artist, who knows. Experiment, do something you enjoy.

I'm not saying im there already, but i've walked a fair bit of the path already. Yea, freelancing would be a nice way to find something new, but i dont have a set of finished stuff to put a portfolio together.
Maybe is there some kind of charity site where i can do some illustration/character design/concept art work for free so i'd have some stuff to present in the future?

Good Idea, or just make your own projects.
having actual work to do is pretty important, you can't just do studies all the time and not apply them to something.
redesign and movie or game , do concept art for a book you like, something. just give yourself something to finish that you'll enjoy doing.

Your art goals will change thru your life. think about what you want your art to do and go for it all out. while you are on that path you may get some other ideas. that's fine ride the wave.
