Serious question, how exactly does masters studies help you developing

Master studies are used to copy style, not to understand the basics of drawing.

So what if I want to draw like a master of realism, does that mean I will be able to draw realistically by copying him?

I am not talking about the studies themselves, but when I paint it tends to look like shit (I am decent at drawing but it becomes a mess once I start to put values and color into it on Photoshop)

But I can't tell why the colors and values are shit, I can only tell they are bad, but I don't know why, do studies help me develop a 'better eye'?

Style is developed after learning the basics.

Yeah what is the point? Had an art teacher say you could draw like the master after 20-30 studies. Sounds far fetched. Why not just draw from imagination? Proko has already proved studies don't really transfer over.

Proko proved that people who have never drawn a dog won't know how to draw a dog.
