Skill is applied knowledge. It's when you know something and can use it over and over again - a little like programming a computer to perform certain functions. That's skill. Some teachers are apposed to skill because they believe it kills creativity. But, in fact, it's the opposite - skill gives you the capacity to create.
Creativity takes place in the unknown - the discovery of a form or image not yet manifested. It is why artists make art. Consider Van Goch in the last 70 days of his life - he created about one painting a day. Why? It doesn't seem his motivation was money. Just imagine coming each day with a painting, propping it up on the bed, and wondering where the image come from. I believe what motivates him to go out the next day and paint again and again was the excitement of not knowing what was going to happen next.

“If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don’t like doing, which is stupid. Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.”

As a rendering develops, you may realize that the solution to various compositional problems are resulting in unnecessary complexity. Your rendering might be deteriorating into fragmentation, and it commonly results from the artist's working on one segment of the composition at a time. While this may be a necessary part of the developmental phase of the rendering, such as isolated solutions may result in a lack of visual unity in the overall composition. However, by applying the principle of the economy, the rendering may regain a sense of unity.
Employing the principle of the economy means composing with efficient expressing an idea as a simply and directly as possible with no arbitrary or excessive use of the elements. Economy has no rules but rather must be an outgrowth of the artist's instincts. If something works with respect to the whole, it is kept; if disruptive, it may be reworked or rejected. A rendering is most successful when you express your ideas as simply and directly as possible.
