3 years has been proven the average time it takes to get to this level.

Is this a troll comment or does someone have a study/evidence to back this up?

>>2855302
It's what I've seen over the years of looking at other people's progress that this holds true.

If you don't currently have a steady stream of commissions and don't mind doing the request, you should do it to help bring more people your way. Requests are a popular way for small artists to gain watchers.
If you don't care about eatchers or don't want to spend time on someone else, either charge or don't do it.

A "request" is almost always just a different word for "unpayed commission".
I'd decline politely.

Just draw, nobody can tell you what to expect from some set amount of time because everyone practices different things and improves at different speeds. Also this probably could have gone in the questions thread, not its own

>>2860361
if you enjoy drawing, just draw whenever you can/ feel like it. And try to improve while you are at it.
If you have to set such a low amount of hours per day in hopes of improving, just give up already, you dont have what it takes


wondering how good you are going to be if you draw a certain amount of hours per day is a fucking dumb question.

>tfw you will never work in a studio with people like these while sharing amazing ideas and sketches

I don't like the glossy finish. I use linseed oil, or lately walnut oil.

i have only paibted with oils once and i was wondering do you have to use the varnish always? i know it is only used after oils are completely dry. i kinda don't like the glossy effect it gives to painting, but my friend gave it to me and told me to apply it because it will preserve the painting longer. is it true? how do you guys use it?

I use gamblin's solvent free medium, mostly because I can't handle strong smells of other mediums, it also dries pretty fast. I've found that gamblin's stuff is almost odorless so I like it.

>Picture not related.

No, it's called being an artist.

You could also be a taxidermist.

>>2861461
That's funny because I am quite interested in taxidermy, and it has nothing to do with my name. I just like dead animals in general, sometimes I feel dead things say more than living things (in terms of having them in an artwork).

Seeing the cute girls being drawn

>>2856753
shit posting helps me.

>>2856755
Honestly one of the main things I'd like to draw is cute girls because it'll keep me company/

Like learning.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

Tedious exercises are always tedious. . . If a person were to be doing the exercises and it wasn't tedious, they are either doing them incorrectly or shouldn't be doing them.

It becomes more fun when you notice results. Maybe if, when drawing those boxes you begin drawing at a different angle which makes them line up better. Stuff like that helps, but just mindlessly doing exercises is mostly just draining.

This would be better off in /wsr/, there you might actually get a serious reply.
