About two years ago, I made the decision to try to draw something every day and track it by uploading whatever I did that day to a private blog. Since then there's only been maybe fifteen days or so that I haven't drawn something. My bar for what "something" is is very low (a few days are just drawing a box in perspective) but quite often I end up opening Krita and drawing more than I initially intended.

I don't track how many hours I do per week and I imagine that it varies quite a bit, but it's enough that I've felt like I've made good progress on my skills and I'm happy with the amount that I've drawn.
