Drawing and time

Drawing takes time.

When you're learning to draw it takes a lot of time to learn all of the things you need to learn to become a great artist.

A lot of the times when I'm drawing I'll pause and think... "I'm still learning this??" After the hours and days that are going by you think why is it taking so long? Because it does. That's what drawing is and what it takes. It takes hours and hours of you hauling ass over each thing to learn. Anatomy, Figures, Perspectives, Etc. All of that takes time, repetition, understanding, time, repetition, understanding. All the while you might think you're not learning much but take a break and doodle your favorite character and you'll see that hauling ass probably made quite a difference from the last time you tried that.

Haul ass. Haul ass then draw ass. Really nice looking ass because you hauled your own ass to get that ass.

Drawing is slow. You will probably learn slow. That's okay, keep fucking drawing dummy.

Also, it helps that you have some rivals.
Tip: Have a rival, even one-sided.

But whatever you do, haul your ass, no matter how slow it will make a difference when you make dat work. Learn more. Get that mileage NOW.
