I'd say it's about 60% Art & art related work: writing, thumb nailing, sketching, inking, toning, posting, promoting, Patreon, videos, etc
The other 40% is living: groceries, cooking, doggos, occasional stroll, eating, sleeping, etc
I have a regular job that I work. I use the experiences from the job as some of the content for my story.
Besides the job, I split up the time that I spend on hobbies. I spend a third of my time on art work. This includes my web comic and other art work. I spend a third of my time working out. I spend a third of my time on making Biblical content.
This method keeps me from getting burnt out. The tips from working out and making Biblical content are used to make content for my web comic. In a way you could say that I spend 100% of my time working on my web comic.
I'd say 95% comics and 5% other stuff such as Patreon rewards or other comic-related things I need to do.
I want to find more time to do illustrations. I need to do more! But comic stuff comes first.
I wish I was more organized in when and how I go about drawing. Often what happens is that I have time where I just want to work on comic related stuff, time when I want to work on personal art and fanart, and time when I want to write. I usually fluctuates week to week, depending on where my motivation is at.
Best cure for that is "do it every day for 15min a day!" From art, to meditation, it's exercise! (And I don't do this either, but I need to, and know it works from past experience.)
30% actually doing something productive.10% seriously drawing, then getting mad at anatomy10% eating / drinking / extend procrastination here / starving myself by concentrating too hard50% procrastination
I've learned to stop being mad at art (doesn't help) and to just get through it. Writing is just a matter of taping my butt to the chair and doing it. Mulling around on an idea for a week just leads to me forgetting why I want that idea in.
90% comic10% personal art/patreon art/projects like print art & sticker art
If my bod wouldnt have these on/off bouts of soreness, I probably could shift that number to 70/30 or 60/40 coz I could do more faster.
I'm usually about 70% comic and 30% fanart/promotional art. Recently though it's been 100% comic because as I'm updating my comic to scroll format I keep finding things I want to fix up so it's taking all my free time. I can't wait to be done so I can go back to my old relaxing schedule.
40% comic/promo art30% comissions10% college stuff 10% Con merch 10% Personal projects
40% personal art30% group collaboration work20% comic-related art10% commissions
About 70% comic and 30% other personal art projects. But from that 70%, half of it is procrastination or figuring out how to draw a pose or organize a panel D:
I'd say about 75% working on pages, 20% comic related art(promo art, designing new charaters and things etc) and 5% writing. I'm starting to do more studies and just draw to draw more though. Making the comic itself is my favorite, I just love advancing the story. That said, i'd love to have enough stand alone illustrations to put together an art book.
Probably 90% comics, 10% personal art.
I think I'm doing 75% a comic and 25% random single pieces..... but of my 75% comic, some of those comics are jokes or fancomics or whatever...
97% comic, 3% everything else. I just have no time doing anything but, even half of my character sheets still lying unfinished for one and a half year already, and they kinda useful for referencing. But if I'll start drawing them, I'll fall behind the schedule... again...sometimes I have bursts of ispiration to start doing something unrelated and I spend like several day on them, and they I feel guilty about that because "you could be spending that time on the comic, and maybe you'd had a page sketch by now."
Since starting my comic my ratio is somewhere around 95% comic,4% personal, 1% Commissions? What with work and other hobbies and such, I don't have time to both do other drawing and maintain my schedule Nearing the end of the current project though, so I'm excited to wrap up and take a little break and maybe get to drawing some other stuff~
100% smearing paint everywhere like a baby with vomit

I have a very unstable spare time to make art. I 100% commit to one thing per day. I really don't know how to combine times. I rather to obsessively work on something all day long or until it is finished and then move to the next thing.
I don't really have percentages, but I made myself a creative schedule where each day I work on a different thing! For example, Mondays are my comic days, Tuesdays are commissions, Wednesdays are my game dev days, so on and so forth. These repeat each week. I also give myself some free time to wiggle in general drawings and stuff as well!I just started a few weeks ago on this schedule, and I'm still trying to get used to it Although it has helped me get things done. I downloaded a scheduling app on my phone that helps me out with it too!
Most of my art time goes to comics because it's in full colours, so that takes up quite a bit of time. Then there's the planning too, like outfit designs, concepts for locations, thumbnails etc. If I'm otherwise busy with my life I may not even have time to draw anything else.If I have plenty of free time then I do draw more personal art, too. However I very rarely these days do proper illustrations since they take so much time and energy.
