I've hear people talk about how you need 10000 hours to become a good artist, other say you need 10000 to master figure drawing etc.

yeah, is such a fallacy.

People should stop using the 10 thousand hours thing as a rule, 10 thousand hours isn't that much

But it's a rare person who can spend four years with nothing to do but practice. Even if you worked in-house for ten hour days for four years, you'd probably only spend half of your time actually improving your abilities.

Even subtracting weekends and sick days you'd be incredibly well developed.

4yrs at 8hrs a day would surpass ten thousand hours of practice. Which would mean you'd probably be as good as anyone in the industry...

It all depends on how youu use your hours

21 Feb 23:11

Gliger

--

Some people get to pro in 1 year, some in 2, measuring the hours can be a good thing to get an idea, but it's not a good method

Or should I have said 4 years after college, which would already have been 3-4 years. But it can be done in 4 years as others have shown with the right mindset and learning methods. Double that to get into a good pro and so on.

It gets you enough money to get paid - that's pro.

21 Feb 22:22

Gliger

--

IMO at least, it makes you good enough to work, but not a "pro"

21 Feb 22:22

Gliger

--

4 years of 8hr per day doesn't make you a pro
