How do you guys draw while raising kids? I'm the primary caregiver for my 13mo and there's so little time in the day to draw. Any tips?

If you have time to post on 4chan, you have time to draw. Just do micro 5 minute sessions where you can squeeze it in.

Bonus: put a sketchbook on your toilet to draw while you shit.

Actually you gave me an idea. I'll get a small sketchbook and hang it around my neck with a clip-on pen.

Draw with your kid! Kids love drawing. When mine was little and learning the alphabet I would draw bubble letters and 3D letters for him and he would watch intently. Then I'd come back later and find he'd drawn his own with remarkable precision and skill. It was amazing. Get a little easel and draw with your kid.

Breeders should suffer. It's what you deserve for egoistically forcing a kid into this world.

Dad of a 7 year old. Its tough especially when they're little but you can make time. My son goes to bed at 8 so I usually draw from 830 to 1230 every night. Sometimes when mom takes him to his friends or family I can squeeze in a few more hours.

We draw kid friendly stuff together (pokemon and such) so I can draw even more.

The children of your enemies will skullfuck you in your nursing home, antinatalist c*uck.

give up on your art career and raise your son to become the greatest artist ever, most elite athletes are often the children of mediocre athletes who got them started early. he might hate you as a result but it's worth the trade off

jokes aside just be more conscious of your time, less doomscrolling etc, sketchbook during lunch break, set aside a 'draw block' on weekends. and once the kid is old enough you can draw "with" them and grind while letting him doodle next to you or something

13 mo can be rough, I used to try to draw while they got their naps in but over time I felt so wiped out mentally I had to stop. it gets a lot easier when their older (like 2 or older( because you can draw with them and it's actually fun (a fun game is to make some lineart of simple objects like bugs, fruit, clothes, toys etc, make copies and have them color).

mods need to ban anyone who has sex or even worse, kids, from all boards.

You don't. There's a time to get your drawing done and the first 2 years of having a child isn't one of them. You draw on your lunch break/commute until the kid is old enough to play with toys in the other room while you work on something.
