hey, might be a weird question, but how many hours per day do you usually draw? asking because I always have this nagging feeling I draw very little, but I also don't have a point of reference to say for sure 🥲

Oh gosh, to be honest... unless I'm hyper-fixating on something, I don't draw a whole lot. I don't know that i'm a good example. I've been drawing my entire life, but I've also been doing it for pay for the last 10 years and it permanently altered the way I feel about art.

I try to draw as little as I can outside of work (I work 40 hours a week so that's on average 8 hours of drawing per day but probably a little less when you take meetings into account).

Then when I feel like doing fanart I'll also take my own physical levels of exhaustion into account and see if I feel up to it. Sometimes I don't draw for months (outside of work)! Sometimes I draw 10 things in one weekend! My advice is: listen to your body and your mind. If you feel like drawing, draw. If you don't, try to not feel guilty about it. We can't be creative 24/7. We need time to cook, so to speak.

Do you have any tips on improving anatomy and color? I’ve been struggling recently with coloring/shading skin, and with human anatomy. (book/video tutorial recommendations?)

i 100% recommend watching videos of people sculpting anatomy in ZBrush. i learned a lot about the subject thanks to my 3D professor. and if u read manga, i also highly suggest studying how mangakas like Takehiko Inoue and Mizuho Kusanagi handle anatomy and expressions

regarding the handling of shadows, light, and color, the guy i watch from time to time is called Angel Ganev

it's okay if your art isn't impressive to your friends, it's okay if you're not very good at any of your hobbies, it's okay if you don't share your life on social media. you don't have to be good and you don't have to prove anything. your life isn't a performance.
