That's quite the split result kek

Something that helps me is doing an hour or so in the morning. That alone doesn't add much, but it gets my head in the right place and also takes off the pressure to start already, and stops me beating myself up for time passing and haven't drawn anything yet.
So an hour in the morning usually adds another 2 or 3 in the evening.

Like 8 hours a day. But my wrist feels like shit.

how is someone able to draw 10+ hours total every day (not including breaks) without fucking up your hands and wrists?

when i neeted it was a 4-6 hours a day but i had no internet so no reinforcement to my studies and i plateau'd hard(the rest of the day was either games or rune study), now im doing about 2 hours with full time job

I think it's possible with experience and a major factor is how hard you press on the stylus and the ergonomics of your set up and stuff. The harder you have to press to get the results you want the more strain you're putting on your wrists and hands.

>>3761881
4 hours every day is the minimum if you have any aspirations of making it. Anything less is just a waste of time.

This applies to all skills, not just art.

tf is rune study

>>3761881
I can usually work in 30-minute stretches without distracting myself. I'm trying to extend that. I guess in total work time, I spend 3-5 hours drawing and painting. After that I just get tired mentally.

chink study

I'm a neet

i usually spend about 3 hours in the morning doing studies and reading books and ... going here
and in the afternoons/evenings I usually spend 4-5 hours working on shitty illustrations

but I'll make it, because I work hard. And I'm a neet.

>>3761881
Disappointing

>>3761935
Stretches and, well, breaks in in-between. You can easily fuck up your wrist by not doing those things.

Or you just go ahead and give no shit.

Currently most days none, if I'm stoned I'll sketch or model 2 to 3 hours. If sober maybe 1 hour. Except in October. I go all out for Halloween maybe 5 hours a day on my mask last year. People want to call it racist, whatever it's just a mcdonalds commercial but I had a great time making that. Many hours went into it.

YOU SON OF A BITCH

Dillon for fuck sake

LOL thank you thank you. Glad you guys approve.

Work full time can get in 1-2 hours a night. Normally just try for all nighters on the weekend if I want something done.

>>3763109
Full time sucks for getting in decent time drawing, 1-2 a night is pretty good all things considered.

>>3761881
So if you can put in 6 hours a day, you're literally better than 90% of /ic/?

10 hours if I'm not working. At least 4 a day. Every now and then I take a day off maybe a couple times a month.

How do I make time for drawing if my career is in a completely unrelated art skill?

>>3761881
Few hours a week. I draw a thing and then don't draw for 5-7 days.

>>3763796
Try getting regular, like have some time in the day where every day you do even just 20minutes of drawing. I think routine even if it's small, will help and make it less of a big deal.

>>3763577
No that's not how drawing works

Not more than 3 hours, but everyday without a skip. People who overdo it will end up drawing shit doodles for 10 hours and then feeling blocked for a week at least. It's idiotic

>>3765371
Better at drawing longer you brainlet

>>3761881
Used to be nearly nothing, gonna do nothing but drawing in 2019

>>3765404

Similar advice, seems just having it be routine is better than going hard then missing days and having to start over.

>>3761935
Like other anon said pressing lightly, and also setting up your tablet or paper at about 70 degrees puts less strain than drawing on something flat

occasionally 10 min

>>3762872
based

>>3762848
That was very lame
That's 10 hours of rendering, not drawing

>>3768205
That guy's channel is all clickbait and very normie stuff, including EPIC PRANKS. Your time would be better spent watching moderndayjames or someone trying to teach you something.

>>3761881
Right now? 10 minutes or less, usually none.

Been meaning to get back to it, but I don't know how since I suck at still life drawings and probably may never get the hang of it regardless of hours spent.

>>3768269
Try even just doodling for like 15 minutes a day, drawing from imagination. Even if you're at total /beg/ level I think that's a good exercise to keep doing, otherwise you can get so bogged down in studies that you forget what you would like to draw if you did have the skills.

>>3761881
Pretty good amount of votes so far, it looks like if you can do more than 3 hours a day you do more than 75% of /ic/.
