How guaranteed is fast art progress if I draw around 6 hours daily (with 2 of those focuses on fundamentals) purely for the will of catching up to higher intermediate/advanced art mutuals more skilled and experienced than you in a relative short amount of time?

Try it. Post results.

This. Make a thread with and post your daily progress

There is no guarantee to anything in life. Some people might barely draw and still manage to absorb the concepts very easily, while others might spend years drawing every day or week and fail to grasp the fundamentals.
To only way to know is by trying, like anon above said.

Why don't you do it and find out?

>>7987327
I'm actually trying to

To what end are you desiring to draw?

Notice that the question isn't " what do you want to draw ", but what will be done with the results. Commissions to clients? Telling stories through comics or other media? Tshirt decorations? It's never too early for such contemplating, even if it's the first time you put pen to paper.

All the time in the world won't make your efforts profitable without an idea, a focus, a gameplan.
>>
you can't make it 6 hours a day because you're here asking if its worth it. Your brain is already rationalizing it.

3 hours a day is MORE than enough, its not about time but how many studies you understand and finish.

>>7987331
We believe in you anon. But do you believe in yourself?
>>
>>7987362
how many studies is that?
>>
>>7987417
0.5 if you are a beginner or act/approach it like a beginner, 3+ if you are invested and skilled
>>
>>7987308
Time spent is almost a worthless metric. You do need to put in a certain minimum amount of time to see results, but past that, what you actually DO with that time is way more important. If you fill 12 hours a day with garbage exercises and don’t learn anything then you’ll never make progress.

If you are desperate to succeed, you likely will. It will take much longer than you think and the material rewards will be shockingly disappointed.

According to the legend in the /ic/ sticky guide, some dude spammed ellipses and Bridgman copies for 3 months and became a pro.

>I want to end it here with a story I heard from Glenn Vilppu, that legendary drawing instructor. Several decades ago, Vilppu headed up the Calarts character animation program. It was a program started by Disney animators for the sole purpose of pumping out artists for the animation studios. One year, a student was going to graduate in 3 months, and he realized that his drawings weren't good enough for the industry, so he privately went to Glenn and asked for help, saying "I'll do anything you tell me to do, just help me catch up".

>Glenn agreed and sat him down for private tutoring. He started him on drawing circles, very slowly, clock-wise and counter-clockwise, for several hours, and then he had him copy drawings by Bridgman. By spending those 3 months practicing circles, and copying from Bridgman, the student was able to bring his skills up rapidly and find a job at a studio. Today, he's a professional working artist and life drawing instructor.

How true is this? Well, try it and tell us.

Bro I hate these kinds of threads so much. No one who engages in this kind of hypothetical bargaining nonsense will ever lock in.

Another "useful" tip from /ic/. Time to go back to drawing circles.
>>
>>7987590
But he was an art student so probably already int. Vilppu probably made him do that because line control and anatomy were his biggest weaknesses.
