This. I'm very interested how your studies look like.

If you mean read every page a few times to understand it, copy the drawings, analyze them, fix the mistakes and do the exercises, then I'm impressed.
If you mean flip through, then literally anyone could do that.

This is what I'm doing right now. I cringed in fear since glass texture has to be the hardest one to draw.

The past year I had been able to make like 50 per week, but just this week I stepped up to around 10 per day. Thanks to you faggots.

Ye
I like more square paper since I have no need (well, I do, but not as much if I did it without) of a ruler. Is easier to keep track of stuff.

Don't underestimate the crayon power!
Their strokes are the most easily modifiable there are.

The illustrator guide to pen and pencil.
Usually I get stuck in some parts where I have absolutely no clue how to draw them so I try a book about that subject

I was trying Bert Dodson keys but got stuck with a dog which I had zero idea of how to make its fur, then I got stuck on that because it required to color, and now I'm here

Of like what? Half an hour per page?

I spend 2-3 hours on a page, 10 pages a day would kill me.

I agree, black crayon is really good for gestures.

I like you.

Don't 'finish' books, and don't treat instructional art books like an actual art schedule/regime. Books give you assignments, inspiration, ideas of how to practice, and discuss fundamentals/basics.

There is no inherent value to finishing a book. Extracting the last piece of information and internalizing it from a book is not any more valuable than extracting the first few pieces of information and internalizing it.

Beginners tend to underestimate the amount of time to spend on a certain lesson. Repetition and continued contemplation of an activity/exercise is crucial when performance of the targeted skill is not adequate. Your judgment of this will not be the best in the beginning, but seek continued feedback, look at a lot of art, and you'll become better at this. Sometimes, other fundamentals or skills you are ignoring will hold you back and you need to visit that before you can move further.

Op here.
I agree. One of my biggest problems is that I constantly burn out. I usually just wait until the thought of putting a pencil on paper doesn't make me wanna puke.

Really? Most excercises I have read on books are shown step by step and requires mostly copying. Some have taken me days tho.

I just draw pretty small, try to load pages with quite a bit. Not ridiculously small, but it's not like a drawing per page or anything. 4-6 human figures or 15-20 small figures is the norm.

Honestly it's mostly vanity, makes sketchbooks more fun to flick back through when you're self-critiquing for continual mistakes.
