Thanks
About 4 years but desu an average person could get there noticeably sooner by studying basic perspective, (you'll need to be able to do 2-point competently) dexterity, and form rendering. I don't really paint so you won't "need" it but it'll help you a lot. Think of painting as "drawing with paint" and drawing as "painting with ____" Prismacolor markers are great for tone (exercises too).

Treat practice like a workout. Do targeted work for a dedicated amount of time. NOT ADHD sporadic 10 minute segments, loosely connected by wherever you were thinking of at the time. No, you don't need to do it all day, but you can if you want you. You probably don't need to until 2 hours a day isn't enough.

Master studies, copies, etc are a must. If you want to learn more than 1 thing in a lifetime, you have to get it from someone else. You might as well get your info from someone skilled.

Don't be an idiot meatball like me 5 years ago and try to draw things from your head without having studied or memorized them at all. Also, watch process videos to save time and get better ideas. Whether or not you are, your competition is.
