>>5756513it depends on what your goal is, if you want to get into 'industry' doing concept art (ala 2011-2014 /ic/) then you really will need to squeeze every single hour imaginable in, to the point where it's ridiculous
i think that specific mentality is part of the reason why porn remains so relatively lucrative, as well as furry porn. for every 1 artist actually trying there are 50 mental freakshow circus tranny artists who draw 30 minutes a day then tell themselves " 30 minutes a day is plenty for a mentally ill tranny like me". not consciously of course but subliminally. so if you are actually trying it's like being in a MMA fight and your opponent is a 90lb leftist who thinks gay rainbows are real. you can immediately brutalize and wipe the floor with them.
if you want to do concept art however you are up against not mental ill dilating trannies but FZD graduates who practice 12 16 hours a day, insane grinding koreans and chinese who drew since age 5, etc.
however, i remember an article someone posted here ages ago about a MTG card illustrator in a similar situation to you. he had a full time day job and was around 30 when he started actually trying to get good. his secret trick was to wake up extremely early and do his drawing BEFORE going to his shitty slave job. so he would wake up at like midnight, get 8 hours of work done, then go to his shitty retarded faggot dayjob. because he could work uninterrupted and his brain was as fresh as it could be before the mental grinding of his job wore him down. that's hardcore though, i have never tried it, i was too retarded to hold any regular job anyway
>So if I draw 45 hours/week and someone else draws 60 hours a week our destination arrival isn’t that far apart provided both of us are practicing in the right way.feng zhu disagrees bro. good luck though
