How long does it take to learn 3D modeling for a beginner?

Question

3D

Hello. I know that these questions are quite common, but I would like to describe exactly my own situation. Who can answer please.
I would like to roughly calculate how long it will take to learn how to model. I'm almost 0 in modeling, so I'll tell you how I imagine it - specifically required: + character modeling
with knowledge of anatomy, proportions and skeleton (if necessary) normal level (I still don’t know exactly what its essence is, except for drawing which, in principle, the program itself performs), + confident knowledge of anatomy (face, muscles, proportions, skeleton, etc.),
+ acceptable knowledge of light and shadow (this seems to be necessary for the scene),
+ only entry-level animation, + only entry-level
sketching,
+ be good at Zbrush and 3dsMax,
+ acceptable drawing of the rendered image in a graph / editor (I know Photoshop, but I don’t draw much ),
+ modeling of technology, architecture and any other objects with the correct structure, partial symmetry, repeatability of elements, etc. at a good level
The specific goal is to learn:
+ Modeling characters at an average realistic level
+ Modeling equipment, architecture, objects at a simple realistic level
+ Texturing, rendering, painting in Photoshop at an intermediate level
+ Familiarize yourself with animation and sketching
I must say right away that I am equally interested not only in character modeling, but also in modeling equipment, mechanisms, robots, machines, I will especially like it if I achieve realism in textures, relief, color and light. To a lesser extent, I like architecture ... But can you master it in a short time in order to immediately earn extra money on freelance?
Here is the level (in terms of realism and authenticity) I represent it:

Maybe I missed something else? Is there anything else you need to know?
I will study on an inexpensive graphic tablet + a laptop with a good video card and display. I can devote about 5 hours every day to training. I can learn quickly, unless of course there are video lessons where the teacher says more than he does. I can watch and read English lessons. I draw a little with a simple pencil. Is it possible to keep within a year and a half of hard work?

Answer 1

Everything is individual. From a year and a half to five.
Like? Do it. If you are interested in this occupation, you will spend your whole life with pleasure.
PS: Many people think that successful learning depends on the tools or books they choose. But this is a delusion. The success of training depends on your desire to study (which you can’t give birth to in yourself) and discipline, which is a strong-willed quality and lends itself to “pumping”.

Answer 2

judging by the currently popular theory of 10,000 hours, according to which you can become a pro in any business in about 3-5 years.
then I think 1.5-2 years will be enough for a confident average level.

Answer 3

My friends took a course of study for 9 or 12 months here - https://diskill.ru/ . It all depends on how much time you spend on studying.
