For the record athletes train less than J draws. If they trained that much they'd hurt themselves.

>Phelps = 4 hours a day
>Other swimmers = 4-6 hours a day
>Average British athlete = 6/day, 6 days a week
>Speed skater = 4 hours a day
>Skier = 3-4 hours a day

It's also very important to take rest days, even if they're "active rest days" and to get enough sleep. Most olympic athletes have sleep coaches and regular bedtime schedules.

I know the athlete thing was an off hand joke comment but it's really interesting to see how the best of the best train. Like the active rest days help athletes avoid burnout while still staying active, say taking a day of the week to do cycling instead of skiing practice. For art it's very important to not just grind or force yourself to draw anatomy and boxes, but to take a day or an hour a day to just have fun and doodle.

This post is BS, photo is overexposed, the colors and gold and white. The light from window+ the bad camera make it appear that it is black/blue.
If you were to look at it in real life the colors would show that it is gold and white. Those who see black/blue are just inept at understanding light and how it affects color.

My favorite pen is Faber Castell ecco pigment FX56 gold series pen with 0.6 lightfast permanent lineweight. It also features resistance to weather, fire and high pressure. Also comes with built in tube enhancers that make sure you never run out of ink. Another addition is the friction based transistor that can be regulated for maximum friction. To top it all off the pen also features colorchanger 3000, which allows to change the ink colors.
