/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I aim for at least 3-4 hours a day. Am a chemistry major.

Once a week. I'm a NEET.

Try for 3-4 hours a day but shitpost too much. Do weightlifting/calisthenics but looking to get into Muay Thai soon. Am studying IT.

0h or 10-14h, I only do commissions. Zero personal work since almost a decade ago

>>5196246
Kinda off topic, but is IT worth it? I hate my job and want to quit and go back to school, and was thinking of doing IT.

>>5196249
>0h or 10-14h,
A day?

I aim for 2 to 3 hours a day after work (teaching kids art) but I track my time spent actually drawing and I usually average about an hour and a half.

2 to 5 hours everyday, I'm a software engineer. I'm still shit however.

>>5196255
Yes, it's nothing or pretty much all day depending on whether I have work to do

>>5196267
Do you enjoy it, or does it feel like work for you now?

>>5196263
>I'm still shit however.
Prove it.

Literally whenever I feel like it for as long as I feel like it. Sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 6 hours. Why bother when you dont feel like it. I learn more when i actually want to do something. Only ever do shit you want to do

At least an hour on the weekdays, as much as I can on weekends. I’m just a hobbyist. My job isn’t art related at all, but I like it and it’s a comfy salaried WFH role. As far as other hobbies go, I also like to sew and play videogames.

The second, because I'm too lazy to do something out of my comfort zone so every commission has become pretty repetitive. You can easily avoid the repetitiveness if you want though

Far less than I should lol. I'm technically a NEET, only do some work around the house 1/2 hours a day, but after that I only draw about 1 hour a day on average. Would absolutely love to draw more, but I keep having these bullshit issues with my energy levels where I just end up slouching around all day, physically unable to concentrate or even hold a pen straight. Shit sucks tbqh.

>>5196252
It’s easy enough for the most part, if you have at least normie intelligence and good work ethic you can do it and get paid decent

I draw all day everyday, i am not kidding. I stopped playing vidya and watching anime just to draw, but i feel like i am stuck and can't get better.

>>5196234
I try at least 3 hours a day but can go for 12 or more if I am actually inspired. I am in IT

>>5196293
You need to do something else mate. Diminishing returns, if you just draw all the time you can brute force gains but the human brain is not a robot and you’re not supposed to function that way. Do other shit, stop rushing gains and just make drawing a part of your life. The harder you force it the more your gains will slow down. That doesn’t mean draw for 5 minutes a day tho

I draw every day, usually 2-3 hours. I've been drawing since I was a kid, so it's become a habit. Feels weird if I don't sketch out something. I usually have a Law & Order variant on or listening to music.
The only time I don't draw is if I'm traveling and it's been awhile since I've left because of the coff

>>5196289
Is it better then being an accountant?

>>5196313
How the fuck should I know, I’m not an (((accountant)))

>>5196269
Neither I nor potential readers would stand to gain anything by doing so.

i draw/study art 8-9 hrs a day lol

>>5196234
4-9 hours depending on what I have to do for the day

8-10 hours everyday.

>>5196234
I doodle daily, maybe average one finished piece a week, can spend up to 3 weeks on more complex works. I also surf but it’s been flat lately. I work a full time normie job.

If I drew I wouldn't be on 4chan now would I

I only draw 3-4 hours a session if I'm feeling inspired, otherwise I don't draw at all

>>5196234
I draw for 30 minutes everyday for three days every two weeks three times a year.

>>5196234
enough to have wrist and hand pain

>>5196234
Every night or every other night for 2-4 hours. Any longer and my wrist will start to give out on me, since i use my hands so much. Go to work during the day, and on off days play video games during the day. Can't find the motivation or energy to finish anything, so i just study anatomy, or sketch waifus.

i draw every other day if i have time, almost always doodling on /i/

>work
>draw
>sleep
>shitpost inbetween
Yup, this is the life. I dont do anything else and I don't intend on ever doing anything else. I want to die with a pencil in my hand.

>>5200007
Same here, but i just want to die.

kekd

>>5196234
Only during the weekends as my weekdays are occupied.
I try to get in at least 1-3 hours a day.

>>5196305
i've learned this as well too
i had a period of my life where i drew for 10 hours straight every single day taking only very short breaks and not eating much because i heard from some asshole YouTube artist (FengZoo or some shit) that you had to draw for 12-16 hours a day to get good at drawing

honestly, fuck that guy
most artists don't even draw that long, especially ones that people like me would consider to be good
being "good" isn't pro level, being "good" is being able to execute what you want without having to be restricted by anything other than what you allow (i.e. not being restricted because you can't draw a face for instance)

made me despise artists to be honest

i draw a few hours at a time 2-3 times a week, balancing it with learning 3d, reading, and vidya
pretty comfy desu

>>5196271
>typing this comment without a shred of irony
yikes

A minimum of two before work, a little on my breaks and maybe an hour when I get home, I work the night shift and do online school so I don't have too much time anymore

>>5196234
8 hours a day. I quit my job recently.

>>5201114
Are you planning to draw full time?
