Studying 5 hours a day and I should be able get out of the noob stages by then. Any recommendations or improvement on this?

It's good that you're focusing on fundamentals, but don't forget to do the things you like.
Art progression isn't as linear as we often like to think.
>>2437263
sure, but the things I would like to do require a good amount of skill

More Loomis

Don't impose limits on yourself. Waiting until you're good enough is pointless.

Honestly I dont think you will be able to make a single book last for 4 weeks.

by when? 4 weeks? i guess it entirely depends on what you would quantify as noob stage but be realistic. a month isn't going to make a huge difference. in a year's time you'll still in all likelihood be at a beginner level. two years, even.
if you're lucky, by the third year you might start becoming self aware and self critical.
i'd say 5 years from now and you'll probably be a solid artist. not a master by any means, and you won't create art that would be considered brilliant but you'll be at a level where you can be proud of your work without being so pleased that your progress will plateau,
anyways i hope that made sense i hope you don't have any wild dreams of becoming the next moebius in five years

i guess i forgot to actually critique your regimen. drawing boxes is good. drawing basic shapes and being able to rotate them in space is something that needs to be addressed more. it's an invaluable skill to have for people who work in comics or cartoons or do background art. basically anything that's sequential or has backgrounds it benefits.
drawing from observation is also crucial. unless you understand how things work you will never be able to successfully reproduce and go beyond whatever it is you want to draw.

obviously exaggerated but this guy gets it
you get what you put into it so if you intend to get out of the scrub stage that quick you better be up to your eyes in practice

>obviously exaggerated
it really isnt. if you think it is you probably lack the ability to be self critical that i mentioned.
most people who start out go years without learning to be self critical

wow, i can't believe normies like this actually exist. Mind boggling. It's a fucking skill you idiot's, he can be professional level in 1 year if he goes full focus autism on it, will he do 10+hrs a day? a beginner sticking to something he dislikes(because bad drawings at the start) for a couple months is not likely. But not impossible, you retards
>>2438803
I love how people preach its possible in one year but haven't done it themselves.
Before you sperg out again, read the posts you're replying to. They're emphasizing the importance of being self-critical in development.

don't mind them anon, just a bunch of unsparked retards that put 1 hour in every few days, doing nothing but browsing ic and occasionally drawing a fucking pear once every two weeks and they wonder why they can't illustrate like the gods.
this board is too fucking cancer, leave it if you'd like to actually achieve something

If i can recommend you some additions to read:
1.While Draw a box: Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
by David Bayles and Ted Orland
I think the Introduction of the book gives away a good idea of what you can expect in the book:
"This is a book about making art. Ordinary art. Ordinary art means something like: all art not made by Mozart. After all, art is rarely made by Mozart-like people; essentially—statistically speaking—there aren't any people like that. Geniuses get made once-a-century or so, yet good art gets made all the time, so to equate the making of art with the workings of genius removes this intimately human activity to a strangely unreachable and unknowable place. For all practical purposes making art can be examined in great detail without ever getting entangled in the very remote problems of genius."
2.While you are doing Keys to Drawing: Bert Dodson
Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told Me About the Creative Life
The first part of the title is something people like to tend to overfocus on, but actually it is rather about the part after that.
They really help to get the whole idea of what is going to happen when you learn or make art, you will not draw better through them directly, but it helps with motiviation, what you would like to know before you start fully and actually grasping what art making is in a realistic way.
Alternate between creative work and study, i did my best work when i was a nooblet, because i wasn't jaded like i am now
