has anyone actually followed one of these schedules, any of them, for more than a week? because i don't think they actually work.

They work if you have the discipline to follow them, which most people don't.

My schedule is simple.
>dynamic sketching warmup for 20 minutes
>anatomy for at least 3 hours
>faces for at least 1 hour
>inking for at least 1 hour
>coloring for at least 1 hour

If your doing a single 20min warmup It implys your doing all this consecutively.
Where do you get the time to spend 6 hours? Or are you a worthless neet

This is the real reason no one follows these. The only people who have this much time to do this are either ignoring every healthy aspect of their lives, have no career, and/or no client work coming in.

If someone isn't working/school full time, has no financial or family commitments, does no chores or housework, and does no physical activity, they're not going to be capable of sticking to something this rigid. People with nothing in their lives already made their choice to lie in bed complaining at the internet instead of getting up and doing.

And if a normal person put their daily commitments on hold to spend six hours on art, the dishes piling up, worsening health, and poor sleep would burn them out after a month or two.

But people who don't do anything at all in their lives are the most likely to think they have the willpower to bust a nut if they just tried - like how every fatty swears if they started a fitness plan they'd be running marathons in a week.

Almost nobody has the time or discipline to follow any of these. The way they are set up also typically lead to burnout or a loss of interest in things because of how it's structured. The people who do follow them I think either A) realize after a month or whatever that it's not a good approach and abandon it, or B) didn't create it and start following, but rather had the schedule build naturally and then they later wrote it down for others to see.

I don't follow a strict schedule, its counter productive for me
If I tell myself I will draw for X amount of hours, I won't actually do it, at best ill do it halfway through
If I just open a sketch book and draw, I could do it for an hour or 13 hours ( depending on the day )

6 hours is easily doable with a part time job. Full time is harder but still doable with a lot of discipline.

>Draw or die

man wtf

I am a NEET, but that's because my gf makes more than enough to support both of us and has told me multiple times that she wants me to pursue art instead of being a wageslave. I don't think anyone in their right mind would refuse that. Also, I don't do it all in one go. I take breaks.

I don't see how this is anything close to maximum efficiency. While you learn your perspective changes all the time so you would need to change your schedule every single day which makes a schedule pointless to begin with.

>draw or die
I call bullshit because it's not comprised completely of gossiping on Facebook and shitposting on /ic/

>>2183195
reading this schedule makes me not want to draw. It looks like such a chore and the activities look boring as shit

you may have just ruined my night for drawing

fuck you OP

>wake up
>jerk off
>look at ref
>jerk off
>shitpost
>jerk off
>thinking about how much I hate myself
>jerk off
>sleep

I just draw for most of the day, I dont really follow a schedule. If I draw a pose and it looks like shit, I'm probably going to spend the next hour trying to get the pose down. By the time I give up, I have the gesture memorized and start a different drawing. Sketchbooks help me.
