i want to say that i strongly disagree with the rhetoric that and artist should draw every day and just keep pumping out art, thats one way of doing things but its ok to be slow, study things around you, spend time on other interests. growing as an artist should not be separated from growing as a person.
@eifie when i was taking an art class, the professor had us do 50 drawings in less than 2 weeks. that is roughly four drawings a day. we were supposed to explore new and creative styles while still working on a drawing a day in our sketchbooks. it was hard work and it ended up being more of "what kind of shit can i do in ~10 minutes that is 'new'"? you didn't really get to think about the drawing or how you'd approach it, or even spend any real time per drawing. didn't do anything for me.
