If you had 10 hours to study every day how would you structure it?

Would you "just write?" I dedicate about 10 hours of writing within my day but would like to up that number a little, what do you guys think that time best spent would consist of?

i'm not brainy enough to pomodoro a given amount of time to work so that tasks are delegated to certain spans but if i've got energy to focus on studying then i do that but if i've got more motivation to write/draw then i focus on that task. restricting it to "do this in this slot of time and nothing else and that in that slot of time" just makes my brain angry so i go based on where i feel i can focus the most without really thinking about time based deadlines (especially without thinking about time coz that just becomes another thing to be stressed over than me focusing on the task/s at hand)

I think I would spend 2 hours studying some drawing manuals and then an hour of sketches to learn better anatomy.
I would then study manga narrative and social media marketing in the remaining hours (I'm taking some courses and reading a book about it in my spare time from my job)

That very much depends on what you want to improve on.
For me it was anatomy, figure drawing, proportions, portraits and that´s what I focused
on and I tried different routines, training methods always mixed with theory.

I´m writing sketching, inking, coloring 10 hours a day at the moment 7 days the week because I´m working on a comic.
Some say that this is the best way to improve and I think they are right but you still improve
on other things while you other training methods

10 hours seems too much imo. I'd just do like two hours or one hour at the very least. If I recall, there's like a certain window for the brain to retain stuff.

There's probably a number of things I would want to study... So I wouldn't really be able to pick just one thing. Especially since I want to learn different languages, how to write better, and how to play an instrument, to name a few.

I think almost half of that 10 hours would be rest. In concept art for example it's estimated that a newbie can have 6 productive hours in the day, whether drawing or taking in info. Once you get to pro level that 6 can go up to 8, which is still under 10. I've personnally found that to ring very true for myself, once I get over 6 hours of work per day I get very very slow.

I'd probably split my time between learning about techniques, practicing techniques, drawn studies of whatever I'm learning that day (anatomy, structure, spacial visualisation, colour theory, etc...) and probably a couple of hours exercise? Use those remaining 4 hours to rest my brain doing something not to do with geometry like sport or going on a walk, making sure I don't burn out. If I have some more energy on any given day, probably doodle something.

I wouldn’t spend that whole ten hours writing,more like a nice four to five hours dedicated to writing.

For the first couple of hours I would do a nice workout and eat breakfast.

Afterwards I would do some house cleaning while listening to some podcasts and audiobooks.

Then I would eat lunch and do some work related activities such as training etc.

Once my day is winding down with a good dinner that is when I can finally sit down relax and write.

I am the opposite, my meals have to be after I write haha. Don't you worry about not writing enough?
