How many hours do you study?

>>2712656
You could do 30 minutes a day and it'll still be enough to eventually become a professional.

Impossible to calculate and doesn't matter either.

Like 5 hours a week or something.

OP here

You're absolutely right, but it would take forever.

I need to be a pro in 2-3 years.
Does anybody know if that'll do the job?

If a school can pump out pros in a certain amount of years then an individual can do the same.

To git genuinely gud in 2 to 3 years you need to just make your hobby art. Don't shitpost on 4chan unless you're taking a shit, don't play video games, don't waste time on dumb shit.

>I need to be a pro in 2-3 years.

Stop with this stupid mindset. Find a stable job that pays the bills now, and work as much as you can/want on your art on the side.

That's all you can do. Stop setting up arbitrary goals for yourself, it only hurts you.

It's not a "stupid mindset"

I'm 19, and I need to get situated in the industry as soon as possible.

>>2712735
No u dont.

This post is good

But really OP, what the fuck do you expect to hear? The more practice, the better. 5 hours sounds good. Just fucking draw what the fuck are you doing here

>>2712735
You're asking to hate every moment you sit down and draw. Don't kill yourself to "git gud fast"

Industry expert Feng Zhu recommends16 hours a day, get going!

>>2712656
5 hours a day, if you really do do that, is almost 2k hours a year.

If you work at something, focused, grinding out the fundamentals in the most efficient way, 1k hours is enough to get to a professional level with no doubt at all.

And by professional here, I mean you could make a living doing art in some way.

Tbh I've been in art school for a few years now and I see kids who go from shit tier art to amazing work in a year, or even in a few months, but I see at least as many whose 'art' just stays pretty awful.
It really depends on how fast you learn and how much you like to do it. If you try to force yourself to git gud you'll just end up hating to draw etc.

I usually make sure I sketch something once a day and I have about 16hrs (4 hrs on 4 days) of active art-making in school outside of the theory courses. Don't forget that going to museums and seeing other ppls work is really important, too.
