I only been drawing for almost 2 years and only recently (2 months) I seriously started drawing and seen improvements in a span of weeks, mostly related to finished work and tons of grinding, rendering, and drawing the same thing over and over again. Of course I had to initially built that mileage from those first year and a half of drawing shit I like.
>do i still use references
Yes of course I’m not kim jung gi and haven’t drew as much as he did to shit out anything decent from imagination.
>how many hours do you draw now
Usually 3-7 hours, im trying to push 8hours while being constant.
>how do I draw for a long periods of time
Starting a fire under your ass in a form of a schedule and a routine in mind, also a stopwatch to track how many hours you’re actually drawing instead of shitposting. I’m fairly constant till my graphic tablet died on me so i had to order a new which will arrive in 2 weeks.
Pic related is what a schedule looks like

This is how you build discipline, hide all your vidya, stop browsing /ic/ get all the resources you need for your goal in mind, and set up an autistic routine, you need to be committed to do this everyday. Ultimately turnoff your internet connection and start drawing shit that you need. Make a routine everyday to draw X for X amount of time stick to it. The hardest thing is getting use to it and starting it so be consistent. My mere words aren’t gonna help you because it’s a mindset thing so its up you to have the will to draw and finish it. And do pic related

Thanks for the explaination, can I ask a favour? Will this routine of mine make me good? I need secondhand opinions and yours has merit

Do what I did, set up a routine so you have something to draw every/day/week/month AND GRIND HARD

Of course it’s real anon, I been doing the same for 4 days just doing studies upon studies ect, I’d say monthly because the gains are big enough to appreciate and motivated enough to work harder. I was able to see gains even how small coming through because of my new routine that I made.

Do what I did, give yourself daily activities to do so you don’t need to wasts half the time deciding what to draw/copy. Mine is ball bustingly time consuming but the mileage and gains is great.

Theres some other stuff not listed like comparing my new and old work every 4 months.
