i drew for 8 hours a day average for 10 months religiously, tracking the time to the minute.

to be honest, while you definitely could see the improvement right after that 10 months, i think i had 'study sickness' for a while right after. everything was kind of /mid/ in terms of skill but also no appeal.

i took 4 or so months 'off' from studying (basically i was in animation school at that point so mostly being social and shit) and just drawing maybe 30 minutes to 2 hours a day on average. after a while i feel like the gains from my 10 months of studying caught up with me and i suddenly improved rapidly, out of nowhere, i think it's because my heart got back into it again, as corny as it sounds. after that i was 'learning by doing', attempting to make the shit i really wanted to make. before this point i was so fucking disappointed about the lack of improvement i had from those 10 months but the boost in appeal i got when i started to do the shit i wanted to again was crazy, it felt like it was from nowhere, but those months of grinding where the foundations of it.
