>that he draws more than people think he draws
This scares me because I've always imagined him doing nothing BUT drawing. How is it even possible for him to draw more than I think he does.

interesting read anon, I know ravens and dolphins and other such "intelligent animals" like to play, but never thought about ants and fishes and such enjoying stuff for the sake of it

I usually take everything too seriously and schedule things out and think like a robot, and I think it holds me back. Whenever I see artists here making impressive gains, they study and practice sure, but they also just like drawing. It's the same as learning a language I suppose, the best and fastest way to improve is just immerse yourself in something completely, live, eat and breathe whatever language all the time and your mind rapidly acclimatizes to it.
Also whenever I see the top tier pros, that are still improving, they draw all day long for fun. KGJ especially, and a THU artist I've forgotten the name of, when he was tired of drawing all day for everyone he went back to his hotel to relax and draw by himself.

The community element of fun can't be underestimated too. Maybe not even posting stuff and getting feedback, but just drawing dumb shit with other people and having fun talking while doing it. I know catbib and a few others started to branch out and find their own styles faster when they found groups of friends they could draw and chat with, and just have fun with art.
