i was sketching at the train station last week, and i got talking to this pink haired tumblr looking chick. she said "i draw a bit too, but it's really bad and only anime". i said not all anime is bad but she wouldn't let down about how bad her drawings are and mine were so much better. i just wanted to melt into the floor

It's not what i'm doing right now, i only put in 5-6 hours a day, and don't pick up the books nearly as often as i could. 6-8 hours is a comfortable ideal amount for me, and while anything above that could be helpful, i'm not at a point that i could consistently put in that time and stay focussed on learning.

It wouldn't be a schedule that you could just jump into, you'd have to spend a while building up to it, and i'd strongly recommend taking this advice into account beforehand too >>2586694


if you really focus on perfecting everything in the books, one step at a time and not skipping a step until it's solid in your brain, it seems ridiculous to say you wouldn't improve a lot.

Perspective, construction and form building, along with pen skills. i'd put this stuff as a priority.
