Masters and Beginners always spend hours learning and challenging themselves, it's always the intermediate and pseud masters the ones that rush thing, hey why do you think you are drawing memes for pennies you absolute fucking loser./ranteo58 brushes are really good, google them.

i would draw 8+ hours every day too if i had talent
but instead i have to suffer painstakingly searching and badly copying refs just to draw an idea and hope that luck will be on my side and they will turn out good today

work really does drain me and i don't know why or how. i thought everyone who complained about their 8 hour a day office job killing their soul was just a lying fag but i know the truth now. i get home and i just have no energy for anything but a short run and some shitposting.picrel's the last decent thing i drew...in march of this year, then a work convention hit and work hit and i am just exhausted. i think i was on a good roll looking back but now i worry i've backslid and it's scary to try

I don't really know what to draw for 8 hours a day or how to be mindful while doing so. The only time I seem to be able to is if I either
>A. jump between 3-4 very different concepts- some book copying, some doodling, some photo reference, some original work
>B. have gotten past the initial problem solving phase of an illustration and can refine or render for hours and hours
the painful problem solving period isn't fun to me and I'm not consistent or hard working enough to spend an entire day there

Been getting up there, averaging around 5-6 hours now but recently only been able to get in 2-3 per day because of work. Though when you only got a couple of hours the whole process seems to flow very efficiently.

I managed 6 hours today. Could have been more if I didn't have to work. But cause I'm a beg, a lot of it was redoing stuff to get it correct. Not a lot of efficiency yet.

I started drawing in January 2021, drawing more than 8 hours a day. It was rare for me not to draw every day of the week, only when I had something important to do. Did that help me improve quickly? Yes. Would I do it again? I wouldn't say no, but I would try to have a better balance between my social life and drawing, and get a lot more rest. I had health problems during that time, since I didn't leave the house and didn't do any physical activity, I developed anxiety that I didn't have before... besides that, during these last 4 years of being an antisocial artist, I don't remember almost anything, not even my birthdays, since every day was almost the same for me. The feeling that I lost an important part of my youth is quite latent, but at least today I can make money with my art and have a future in something I enjoy. Since the beginning of 2025, I've been trying to draw for a maximum of three to four hours a day and leave Saturday and Sunday to rest. I'm much better. If I were to give a tip, don't rush things, unless your future and career depend on it, then go for it. (In my case, I was already 22 and had dropped out of two colleges, so it was kind of do or die. My cousins were already getting married and working at jobs... I kind of felt useless without a career... at least something I was minimally good at.)

1 millionth random chink account draws anime decently. Can anyone explain to me why asians are stuck in and endless loop of thinking 2d symbol drawing is peak? I grew out of anime after highschool and eventually realized 18th century french academic artists are on a higher level of skill than the best mangaka artist.

Its like sports or math problem/academics. You observe/learn a concept and apply it right after you learn the concept/reference. You copy from reference and you immediately redraw what you learned from the ref studies.(if you have a lot of time you do it right after the ref studies or if you don't have time, you do it tommorrow) If you didn't understand the reference, you have to go back at it again with the ref studies til you learn how it shape or formed. The thing that helped me a lot when it came to studying things was learning about how to see the objects as a silhouette or applying contour lines to the reference. When artist draw something without guidelines or from "imagination" they usually most likely seen it before or have applied it a few times on their drawings. So i truly don't believe they came up with it from imagination. Unless they used guidelines to problem solve their proportion + pose or whatever your their drawing. I remember hearing this from a friend who does art professionally. He told me that you have to know the rules in order to break them.(So its okay to copy from reference/photos, so you can break the rules and create you own stylized artwork and make art the way you want it to look like)

Because I have a full time job, 1.5 hours commute and physical need to sleep for 8 hours a day.Crippling addiction to porn and internet doesn't help either, but since I was drawing when I was a NEET, it's clear it's my job that's to blame for this.

>This person draws 8+ hours everday
Because (I assume) he gets paid for drawing porn or it's a camthot or some other thing related to porn because otherwise you wouldn't even mention him or know he exists. I don't want to draw porn so I already know won't get paid no matter how good I get. Also I don't want to show my work to brown people on the internet, I loathe the idea of sharing anything good to despicable swine more than I enjoy the idea of communing with le wholesome followerinos. Therefore I art will stay a hobby for me, but I can't draw for 8 hours a day. I used to draw over 10 hours when I was serious but I was killing myself on a pointless rat race I would never win. I am OK with things as they are.
