Estimated Time 3-6 months for noticeable style development with daily 30-minute practice; 6-12 months for confident personal style clarity and technical execution
📊
Difficulty moderate

💪 Effort Required

Daily commitment of 30 minutes minimum, non-negotiable consistency over intensity; requires purchasing India ink, pen assortment, and quality paper; emotional energy to tolerate early work quality and resist discouragement; analytical effort reviewing your own work critically; vulnerability to share work with mentors; willingness to experiment with approaches that may feel uncomfortable initially

🧠 Why This Works

Growth Mindset theory (Carol Dweck) emphasizes that artistic ability develops through effort and practice; consistent daily engagement signals neural plasticity and skill acquisition rather than fixed talent
