hey smrrfette,
daily updates are completly overestimated. It is for beginners easier then for intermediate or professtional artists because you are learning basic things and you get pretty fast results (like 60 gesture drawings from posemaniacs or perspective rules) and the basics are pretty unforgiving. It`s either right or wrong.
With a certain level/skillset things become trickier and more complex and you will automatically spend more time on one piece of art (because your art isn`t any longer a happy mistake but controlled and composed and your critical eye is always looking for flaws)
I know that Algenpfleger is a great inspiration for every artist. Everyone was impressed by his huge amount of studies - BUT be burnt out. Physically and mentally. Check his journals on deviantart: he even considered quitting with art! I`m mentioning this because it seems obviously that you are forcing yourself too hard!
I would suggest you to overthink your schedule! Is it really necesarry to update every day?
What about two or three times a week or even every two weeks? Or maybe think what art would you create if you were living on a lonely island without internetconncetion? (haha, no offense australia;-)
Best wishes
and greetings
and keep up the great work!
