For the past 2 weeks I've been using my hour to 2 hour long break at the hospital to brainstorm little ideas and hopefully have time to perfect them later. There was also a little study of my surroundings that I'm proud of. Being alone with your thoughts outside your house does a lot for creativity (thank you for reading my positive vent)

I do most of the drawing on the weekends after getting a satisfatory amount of gaming done. During the week I draw small bits or make sketches so I don't have to do as much on the weekend. Doing things at my own pace and without forcing myself, I usually take a month to draw a single page.

I quit mine to become a comic artist. I have around 6 months to make it. Grinding boxes as we speak.

The job doesnt take much mental focus as its manual labor. I can tune out and imagine what I want to make while im working. Along with that, I practiced enough where I can lay down an image quickly. If its something im struggling with, my 15min breaks are used to test out an idea before my hour lunch. Once the hour lunch hits, i can pump put a drawing quickly.
So really, some prep work is happening before I draw on my break. Sometimes no prep work, so quality fluctuates. it really depends on the day.

What's your job? All jobs I've had won't let you bring notes, a pen or even a phone.

The hell are you doing where theyre damn slave drivers? Id tell those managers to fuck the right off not letting me bring a simple pen and paper to work.

Secret chemical lab or something?

I usually work from 8:45 to 4pm
wage slaving as a cashier and I doodle a bit if it's not busy
After work, I go to the library at about 4:30pm or 5 depending on traffic and I draw till they close at 10pm
I do this every day unless I'm off then I go to the library when I wake up then draw or study till they close

Work is the best time to be drawing

If you work with kids, you get a lot of free time compared to the average worker. And if you're emotionally fulfilled helping kids, even better.

I'm full time unemployed. I've tried to find a minimum wage job but seems like God chose me to be his neet. Not so bad, I can spend my days being comfy and drawing

I posted this in another thread, but I get a couple hours of free time in my goy IT job, I use them to to thumbnails and work on my script.

I work a couple days from home, which is great, but honestly it can be hard to get any work done. I can draw all day on the weekends, but then at home, when I get 20 minutes in between meetings, I cant will myself, espeically cause Ive gotta constantly check our tickets queue which takes me outta my zone

Funny cause I used to be deserpate for WFH, and now its not even that amazing. Honestly thinking about doing >>7955945 I really hate having to sit down all day, and then sit down even more to draw

also cute drawing >>7951916

I see drawing like going to the gym, except I draw instead of going to the gym. I draw every day for at least an hour. Yesterday I had no time to do so, so I went out at midnight after I got off work to have a drink and sketch at the local dive bar.

I don't. Since 2020 I have dedicated my time mostly to art. I worked since I was 19 and studied in uni and never amounted to that much. My job at the time became remote in 2020 and at the same time I landed a job as an illustrator. So I started dedicating most of my time to art. In 2025 both those jobs ended so I got back home and set up a workshop in my old house and kept at it.

They've had no openings, plus I have a criminal record for something stupid I did when I was younger which probably bars me off even more.
I'll just keep this up until I can earn enough money from art

It's as simple as that.
