I finished my final project grinding hard for 2 months at the end of the year. When I had my first job at Volta after the 7 hour shift I went to a coffee shop and draw untill the shop closed at 11pm, at least 3 nights per week. With only the bzristas wondering wth I was doing :)
In the final year after realizing I wasn't good enough to find a job yet I ramped it up to 6 hours a day. We only had a final project to make that year. I pretended to be stuck on the assignment for half a year. In stead I went model drawing.
