How often do you draw a day? What's your daily regimen?

[Anonymous No.2597914]

Wake up, eat breakfast, play overwatch for 5 hours, animate a bit of my le ebin youtube parody, eat dinner, sleep, repeat ad nosium.

[Anonymous No.2597920]

I draw for an hour a day. I just pick something out I wanna work on and draw it.

If you work, have to pay bills, and don't have a maid that does errands and laundry for you its impossible to have a "daily schedule". That's just how it is.

I draw basically all day everyday, I only stop to eat/sleep/etc. I draw when I watch stuff, No education, I started reading art books a couple weeks go so I got decent through sheer hours..
Only time I'm not drawing when I don't have to is when I beat off.

[Anonymous No.2597940]

I did it /ic/, drew for 8 hours today, I don't know if I can keep this up, learned a lot but I feel tired, how do all the pros draw for 8 hours a day every day for years? How do I keep up the motivation?

[Anonymous No.2597951]

i am week 1

I will win LAS

Take medication. If you can't do a normal job for 8 hours a day, how do you expect to draw for 8 hours a day?

[Anonymous No.2598051]

>>2598047

Studying the fundamentals full focus for 8 hours is not the same as serving fries or pressing a button

[Anonymous No.2598059]

>>2598051
You're right. It's harder. Now how do you expect to draw for 8 hours a day if you can't work for 8 hours a day?

[Anonymous No.2598063]

>>2597913

I'm ramping up from 1 hour a day to at a minimum 3. I figured out where I need to focus my learning so I can spend more time productively

[Anonymous No.2598064]

Around 4 hours. More during the months where I work less.

[Anonymous No.2598069]

>>2597940
They get paid for it, anon. That's like asking how any pro does anything for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It's their job. Sure they might draw a lot on their days off too, but they're good enough that drawing is just fun and doesn't feel like a chore.

>tfw working a going to school and can't draw as much as I want to
I wish I were a NEET like the greats before me.

>You're right. It's harder.
Not him, but I think it depends on the person. Someone prefer routine, some people prefer a "challenge". Some people prefer to work from 7:00 to 16:00 on office tasks and be done with it, others prefer the university grind where you are never truly free until you get the degree (depending on degree, ofc).

I'm on summer vacation atm so I have plenty of free time. I'm trying to get up to atleast 5/6 hours a day but I'm currently only doing around 3. Don't get much done, just an hour of drawing whatever I have laying around from life, an how of Scott Robertson and then an hour of Hampton. When I have Uni I only get maybe an hour or so in a day but I'm hoping to change that too.

Don't worry man, make it an habit. It's harder to start things than finishing them.

Just wake up and set yourself to "auto-mode", via a ritual you easily do and doesn't require mental effort. I.e: Clean your shit up, you take your sketchbook, and you automatically start drawing till breakfast.

>read the bible for an hour
>__draw 30 min__
>eat and get ready for work
>go to work
>__draw while machines are running and I've done all I can to be maximally efficient__
>probably cumulative 10 minutes
>walk to park
>__draw an hour or more, mostly gestures and other drawings of people, evening out observation/invention__
>__ride bus home, do the same thing looking out the window. Also draw cars__
>sometimes draw after I get home, but usually read with my time

I usually draw two 5 by 8 pages during the day while I'm supposed to be working and then try to do at least 3 pages in my big sketchbook after work, and at least 5 pages each day on the weekend. The goal is to fill up at least one 100 page sketchbook each month and then whatever I can do in my work sketchbook.

>tfw you will never be as disciplined as korean artists

[Anonymous No.2604385]

On summer vacation so I'm probably getting something like 5-6 hours done a day. During the school year basically every hour that I'm not asleep or eating is devoted to drawing.

I've heard Korean's are brought up with a completely different mindset. You either strive to be the very best at whatever you're doing or you don't bother, no middle ground. It's a culture thing, don't beat yourself up over not being raised in that sort of environment as it was beyond your control. If you're envious though just try to keep it in perspective, I'm sure some stressed out Koreans crave a more relaxed upbringing. The grass is always greener and all that.

6-8 hours a day
2/3 of that is digital 1/3 traditional. digital in morning/ trad noon-afternoon/ digital at night.


Weekends only 3 hours and exclusively traditional. Im semi-neet, only work weekends and the occasional weekday shift. I cant imagine i'll keep the schedule up when I come back to uni

[Anonymous No.2605073]

I try to go for 3-4 hours a day and I'm doing my best to get it up to 8 at least, sadly today I couldn't last even an hour cause of physical fatigue from work.

I saw a documentary about SK society and their students and such, it sucks bro. They are so stressed that they end up killing themselves or becoming outcasts taking drugs in hospitals and such.
They're mad, although I can see a point in what they're doing it's like their lives are just meant to do one thing to the extreme of extenuation or dead. Or being socially dead and a shame to everybody else.

almost nil mins a day
i really can't even practice, its too hard and i don't know how to even put a person together

i've also been trying to learn for too long, i think its affected me that i can't improve. i just can't practice, i just want to draw and there is the impossible answer.

[Anonymous No.2607356]

I'm 16 and draw 10+ hours a day now that I'm on holiday and don't have to work for school, because I'm ambitious
but my family keep saying me to stop chilling on the computer all the day, they don't understand how important it is for me

When you are a bit comfortable with drawing, doing a piece take you more than 8 hours to finish but it's not making you as tired as when you study because you know what you're doing

I draw about 1-2 hours a day currently, started drawing like a month ago, sees a little progress each time.
I spend more time looking at doujins getting inspiration although like pic related.
