I might skip drawing a few days, but art is always on my mind? :F... its kinda a mindset and a way of observing things and looking at people/objects...

So I feel like even when I'm not actively arting, I'm still progressing in some way...

I do draw quite a lot when the mood strikes me though smile


This is exactly how I feel, however I draw every day as well. Art isn't something you just practice to get good at. It really is a way of living. After you start really making art a priority in your life just out of habit, you'll become much more observant of little details (visually ofcourse).

Once I'm in the zone though, I can pretty much paint/draw forever.

Not enough. I really should be drawing from life right now. D:
But i draw every day, or at least I try to. Sometimes I will draw all day, sometimes only a doodle. It all depends, but i should probably draw for an hour or more a day... ):

I usually doodle nearly every day. As for actual pieces where I worry about composition, color scheme, etc, I don't practice and experiment nearly as much as I should.

And on weekends, and after school on Mondays and Thursdays

It depends on how much time I have. Being a college student takes a lot of time away from drawing, as well as, energy. gonk

It depends on how much homework I get... even though half the time I don't end up doing it eheh. But I draw at least a couple times a week. I usually work on one piece at a time and I guess that's practicing. I try to improve with every pic I do and slowly, hopefully, get a little better.

well I don't consider it practice most of the time, but I doodle everyday on my paper or something. But there are times when I do focus on certain parts I can improve on.

I don't really draw, but doodle...I just wish I could actually draw

I also don't consider drawing as practicing. But about painting? I try to do it once a day after school (just one layer, then it dries the rest of the day). I think I should do it more often, but time and other things to do..

Ehehe.. used to draw in classes in school. Now i'm too lazy to make even a mark on paper unless I have to ^^;

I get a minimum of 12 hours of drawing a week. Over Spring break, I drew about forty hours. On the weeks that I attend life-drawing workshops, I got about sixteen hours. When the workshop isn't on, I go crazy on Gaia commissions and try to get at least six hours in every weekend.

Of course, I want to be a professional illustrator, so I treat drawing as if I had a part-time job. (I'm not interested in doing anything else for a living, so I've got to be serious.)
