It's a given that we should draw every day, but some of us produce only a couple pages of sketches while others are speedpainting and creating pages after pages of work.

What's the volume of drawings and paintings you pump out a day?

My goal is to produce at least 5 pages on a sketchbook or speedpaints a day. Like how kodyboy produces tons of pictures every day, but with actual practice.

Like a page a day. Maybe two, sometimes three.

>after you make it
Even if that was true there is not enough water in my body

[Anonymous No.2871811]

I have other work to do, so only 2 paintings a day. And they suck.

Don't get so autistic over quantities, be it amount of work produced or time spent practicing so many of you get so hung up on "how much have I done and how much more do I need to" that I'm doubtful any of you are really giving a shit about the quality of what you're making. If you're not paying attention to trying to get a better understanding of various techniques or styles with the things you're making, you're not going to improve, whether you're putting out one page a day or twenty

TL;DR who gives a shit about the amount you "pump out," what specifically have you worked on improving today you scrub

Anywhere from a page of doodles a day to nothing for a month. It's a side hobby and I'm usually busy doing something else.

I'm trying to improve my perspective at the moment.

Speedpainting is a meme is you're a beginner according to Feng Zhu. It's better to spend 20 hours on a project where you challenge yourself, learn new things and find solutions to problems you don't know how to solve.

You just suck desu. If you're not a fucking Hudson River painter, you shouldn't be spending that much time on your shitty digital painting when you first start.

Post your work, I bet you suck, that's why you haven't spent 20 hours on a project.

I do suck, I am a beginner. But the other day I spent 14 hours trying to construct a lighter from imagination with perfect detail that I didn't even finish, but I learned a lot of useful things that will stay with me forever, cause I put in a lot of effort into it.


I keep sucking ass, but I feel everyday I practice/learn construction techniques I get better desu. A lot faster than when I used to sketch randomly in my sketchbook without any goal or project in mind. To give you an idea of my level, this is an ant construction I tried to do yesterday.

At least one finished drawing a day

Quality > quantity, but being good & prolific is achievable (e.g. Amundssen).
In short : dedication is the key, not wasting time posting here...
