I havent't finished a single sketchbook and I have been drawing for years now.

I just get a new one when one starts to fill. Don't see it as the journey to fill the sketchbook, rather to improve.

How on what?
Over the years I've bought some software's Adobe/Sai etc but mostly when on sale
I've got a small tablet that I use but am at a point in which I'd be better with a bigger one but I made a rule that I should only get one if I can earn enough from doing art to pay for it

It usually takes me half a year to finish a sketchbook because I draw a lot on loose papers with blank sides.

Considering that you tracked exactly how much you have spent, I suspect that you are to precious with your art supplies that hinders you from practicing or "wasting" your art supplies. I do that too sometimes with my paper - even with cheap copy paper and newsprint, but I have to remind myself to get over it and burn through all the paper like a motherfucker.

I mean I bought several different windows/android tablets with active stylus to learn to draw but they're all too small at 10.6 each and the bigger ones are too expensive and/or don't have good pen tech.

So far Yogabook Android is my favourite since it has the proper drawing bad. But it has only a 2048 pressure pen. I'd like my full 4096 with tilt like on my Note 8

People like him waste their money on expensive shit they don't need either as 1) a way to make them think they're making progress or 2) a way to convince themselves that they should get started on making art as to not think they've wasted money. When in either case it's retarded and still a waste of money.

I filled my first proper sketchbook in around 4 months, then the next one in 2 with most work being done in the space of one month, and now I'm halfway through a book in half a month.

Why is everyone pretending like 1000 bucks worth of art supplies is a crazy big amount? I probably have spent that money on newsprint and regular charcoal pencils if you count in some small crap like drawing paper, mechanical pencil and disposable pens.

When did "finishing a sketchbook" become a measure of an artist? Sketchbooks are meaningless, finished work is the goal. I don't really care how many sketchbooks an artist has, if I'm looking at their finished work in a gallery, or published somehow.

I have stacks of old sketchbooks, because having paper is good. But if you think it has anything to do with my final work, you're deluded, and need to stop listening to the try hards here.

I scan them, personally. Why lug around boxes of paper I will only rarely refer to?
