danial that first schedule looks super efficient

14 Sep 09:19

Nous

Its 9 hrs according to that schedule.

Personally I like Alex Negrea's study technique that's similar to learning a new language

14 Sep 09:18

Jan Kloidt

i thought that too nous until i measured my hours. nothing tracks your progress better than the amount of hours you put into it

14 Sep 09:18

DanialG

If you can manage 12 hours a day, good on you mate.

The trouble as usual is the difficulty in measuring your progress or how long it may take to achieve it.

14 Sep 09:16

Jan Kloidt

as of what to study: study scotts how to books, the are the best. for everything else, analise your paintings and then focus on what you suck at

14 Sep 09:16

Nous

Punk, there is too much good art out there, I think that's half the problem!

14 Sep 09:15

Jan Kloidt

make your own. it all depends on how much time you have and how much you are willing to practice. I use a stopwatch to track how much i study every day and then compare it to my weekly goals.

14 Sep 09:15

Nous

Such as what to concentrate on each day, focus on goal setting etc. There used to be some schedules like this floating around somewhere. While I have some spare time now I can do this.

14 Sep 09:15

Punk-A-Cat

then figure out what parts of that you are weak at, and work on them

14 Sep 09:15

DanialG

let me grab it

Best bet would be go find the best card art you can, and de-construct what makes it good

14 Sep 09:14

DanialG

Both dave and dan have their schedule released somewhere

14 Sep 09:14

Nous

Study illustration for card work. Yes I mean study schedules.

14 Sep 09:13

Punk-A-Cat

What do you need to study Nous?

14 Sep 09:12

Jan Kloidt

like what to learn in which order and how much to study every day?

14 Sep 09:12

Jan Kloidt

what do you mean?

14 Sep 09:11

Nous

With that said - does anyone have on hand (links) to decent hardcore art schedules?

14 Sep 09:11

Nous

A good point Jan, art is a mental performance, until one commits to it, they'll go nowhere.

Ryan Kingslien is brilliant, I'm'm working through his 30 day challenge right now

14 Sep 09:07

Nous

Also listen to Ryan Kingsliens psychology of art videos - "unleash the artist within" - most inspirational.

lucky NZ still has free healthcare.. I'd hate to live in the states, I have a mate who's been homeless twice and declared bankrupt due to medical bills

14 Sep 09:07

Nous

Move to the UK, get the NHS.

14 Sep 09:07

Jan Kloidt

well I started drawing when I was still shitting myself but i didnt start learning fundamentals until 1-2 years ago. im never gonna tell anyone i started back then. you start the moment you commit to it

Whoops, back. Got into that last bit and looked up and went 'oooh... should probably open up the shop now...'
