Yea I'm not too sure about those numbers. I did count the exact amount of hours I drew for the first few months but then it got a bit restricting. I don't think anyone can accurately measure how long it really takes to get good because there are way too many factors to take into considerations.

I think I was just extremely frustrated. It's kind of a cycle to be honest.
Draw, Frustration, Push Through, More Frustration, Push Through, Want to Quit, Draw, Extreme Frustration, Put the Wacom Tablet Away as if I'm Really Going to Quit Drawing, and then the next day I take it back out wondering what the hell was I thinking.

I've been trying that a lot but it hasn't really been helping. I think copying someone else's style is better since you know exactly what to draw rather than having to guess and get frustrated. Though I am still going to learn the anatomy first, of course, I just don't really care about drawing it realistically anymore.

Not interested in the "field" but I see what you mean.

I only drew from photographs and never studied other people's work which is probably the biggest reason why I feel like I'm not improving.

No but thank you for the suggestion. I'll check her out.

True.

I've done DAB and Peter Han's exercises so many times I can do them in my sleep. I do them everyday as a warmup.

>>a little too misleading
I don't see how "just draw" is anything but misleading. What the hell does that even mean? I've had multiple people flame me saying "OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO X..." which is honestly not so obvious--especially when you're self-taught.

I did use construction lines though. I completed the Steve Huston Head Construction videos--all of them--and I've been using his constructions as ways to start a drawing.

I don't know. I don't want to spend 30 minutes on a single face just for it to come out like shit. It's highly demotivating and makes me not want to draw for the rest of the day or I either end up forcing myself through the rest of the day ripping up all the stuff that I drew.

In Steve Huston's course, he does 5 minutes which is what I've been trying to do. But I don't really time it. I just make sure I don't take too long on a single face.

I'll try this for the next couple hundred. Thanks.

I like Steve Huston's teaching style. Got anymore courses by him besides the Head Drawing?
