I've been thinking about pencils lately, as well as contemplating my mortality (because that's what I do).
Generally, most of my experiences, occupations/interests, etc., in my life last around ten years. I'll not make any lists here, but suffice it to say most of the aforementioned average about ten years in existence/relevance.
I've been drawing and uploading regularly here and elseplace around six years now (my oldest ACOs date to roughly the end of 2014). If art/drawing is among those many things that end or fizzle out at the ten-year mark, I've not much time left before I either lose interest or something external to my control forces me to quit.
On FurAffinity, I have (at time of writing) 556 uploads. FA is the most accurate as most of my ACOs aren't on IB as single uploads and DA doesn't count scrapped stuff (I also have very few photos on FA, so my gallery's almost all drawings).
Effectively all of the 556 uploads were drawn within a period of six years. If my math's right, that just over 90 uploads a year ...and if I've another four years to go, I have about 360 uploads left in me. In the end, I'd have just over 900 uploads when all's said and done.
How many pencils would it take to make a combination of quickies, comics and ACOs to equal 360 uploads?
About 25, or one pencil more than two packs worth of.
I have hundreds of pencils. I know even if I live a full life, I'll not live long enough to use them all. Additionally, I ask myself if I'd even want to.
Let's say God promised I'd not die until I'd used all my pencils to make art. I couldn't cheat by over-sharpening, or adding pencils---just fairly and naturally, going through every one at my usual 2020 pace/output (my pencil collection would yield roughly 12,000 uploads).
I really dunno what my answer would be.
