Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
You can definitely succeed. You just need to be willing to put the time in. If you think you dont have the time, you`re wrong. What worked for me was taking online classes. Plenty of sites offer online classes taught by industry professionals. You`ll get your weekly assignment, live reviews and lectures. You`ll learn a… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
I saw Fausto De Martini give a presentation once where he mentioned he was working on his portfolio work for something like ~6 hours after working a full time job every day before getting his job at Blizzard. Most pros have similar stories. My thoughts... most people have way more time that they waste than they realize.… -

Do you work overtime? then no. Book time off work and savor the weekends. if not, then even 9hrs a day, with 2 hrs commute, you can probably squeeze in an hour every other day. But do look into taking time off when you can, and get into a habit. The hardest part is motivation - if you have a habit to at least work for an… -
Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Hi. This question keeps coming and going every time I stop and think about my future. I deeply want to work in the industry, I always loved art and games. However, I took way too long to figure out this is what I wanted to do, and now I have to work and do my best with my 2 hours available each day. But really, when I read… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Man that's crazy... Makes me feel like I'm not dedicated enough. I work on learning stuff for about 4-7 hours a day I think, everyday. As much as I possibly can until my body aches from sitting at a desk all day. But I still sleep like a bear until 1PM on days off. One of my challenges is to stay motivated and stay fresh,… -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfoFGGyRvU What I always think about when I feel like there is no way I can make it. I play that video pretty regularly (once a month or so) in the background and just listen to it. Someone who is going to make it in this industry and really just kill it, needs to feel that way. Its cut… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
i made it while working full time and going to school full time while i was married and raising kids. i also gave up sleeping for a long time...so that's a thing. If you enjoy making art you should make it every chance you get. If you would rather have a portfolio than a social life you'll surely make it into the industry… -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
It's hard but it's not impossible - just work at it. If you can only do 1 hour of work a day then do it, if you can only do 30 minutes of work that's fine too. Those hours will add up over time. -

You should be able to accumulate up to 60 hours to work on personal art per week on top of a full-time job. 6 hours on weekdays after work, and two 15 hour days on the weekend. This was my schedule for a while when I was freelancing on top of a full-time non-industry job. -
Re: Can someone working full time, 9 hours a day, really make it?
Honestly, I would shift your schedule. Get up earlier instead of staying up later. This has the advantage of allowing you to learn and create art while your brain is at it's freshest and not already blown out from a full day of work and commuting. In the long run, having your last few hours at a job you don't want drag is…
