The thing is, somebody who has high hopes is gonna read this and go for it, and burn themselves out. IF you're really gonna be spending more than ~5 hours a day, learning something rigorously, you need to have a certain kind of resolve or powerful reason, or a strong support system to back you up. If you're 18 and your parents are threatening to kick you out soon and you decide you want to get really good at art real quick before that happens, and you try THIS shit? You might just give up on art entirely because you were way in over your head. Also, honestly, the goal shouldn't really be time spent either. It should be based in how consistent you are, and how the studying itself is done. The fact that you guys focus on time spent but not how it is spent is what really makes you seem full of shit. You can spend 14 hours drawing the perfect anus but at the end of the day all you've learned how to draw is a single anus... it's HOW and WHAT you study that matter most, aside from consistency.
