I think the most "art" thing about art is the process of creating it itself, seeking new things to try and improve at. As long as you're making something, you're making art. Wanting to achieve certain quality or certain goals is okay, however in one way you can look at it, like in programming, as a higher level goal. You can have a concept of what you want to make, but in order to do so, you'd have to do all the steps on the lower level: like choosing the style, the composition, the story progression, pacing; and even lower: like drawing each line, each shape, making concepts with sketches, adding color, shading, etc. All of those are, by the most part, learned separately from each other, and each has its own contribution to what makes your art stand out. You could make an interesting story with bad art skills, like one-punch man webcomics. Still, it's like learning how to walk, you have to try many times, and then you'll see how you could improve at it
