I'm too embarrassed to share my first drawing of the year.

Anyways, here's what I did last night. Still nothing special, but I've made a LOT of progress since the beginning of the year.

To compare apples to apples, I found the closest mech to January 2015 (on 12/31/2014)

I specifically remember giving up on inking it because it was too tedious and taking me too long - now I can bang that shit out - Jan 2015 me was a wuss.

otherwise not much improvement this year...

I thought that was just a compliment, but I'm not so sure anymore, so let me clarify this: I've never worked with 3d models before. It's a 2d digital painting. I can even post my psd files, if you don't believe me.

>Drawing for nine hours a day for a week straight then taking another week off has been plaguing me.

Oh no anon, don't do this. You're just setting yourself up for failure. When you are trying to improve, you have to work your brain. That means learning, not just mindless drawing. And mindless drawing is all you're going to get if you try to work for hours straight and don't take breaks. (It's different when you are working on a piece where all you are doing is applying your knowledge and not trying to discover something new, though breaks are still good regardless)

Watch this video when you get the time. Then make some lifestyle changes and just try to draw (study) every day for at least 25-30 mins. Take breaks, then study more when you have more time. If you have an entire day where you literally do not have 30 mins to sit down to practice, don't fret- just make a note to try again the next day.

Not only that but most of us also go into crippling debt just to acquire such basic information

The entire idea of "study less" is kind of abhorrent to me but I really appreciate how this could be applied to more effectively use the time you spend rather than just flat out increasing the volume of time ineffectively.

Looking back at it now, I didn't grow much. Wasted a lot of hours not practicing drawing.

I kinda like this chaotic mess of the before one. The later is simpler, calmer, the line control and colour use is great. Looking at the lines and colour spots you can see that it's done by a same person.

I was saying about the guy who made a after picture of a chair (I can't fuckin post good yet :/)
