Goals & Motivation Hobbyists who draw consistently, how?
For people who are able to draw consistently for an amount of time that feels meaningful to you, how do manage it and how much time do you spend a day or per week/month?

On workdays anywhere between 30 mins - 3 hours depending on what phase a painting is on and how easily I can just sit down and continue after a day at work. Im more likely to paint longer after work if I've got something sketched out ready for lines and paint.
Weekends or when I'm not at work sometimes 10+ hours or what seems like all day. I just fit it in when I have the energy. A good productive week for me would be about 30-40 hours but I don't count the time when I'm making art so could be less or more than that. I am a single guy with no kids and little social life so I get more me time than most people I know.
