how long does it take you to draw your sketches/doodles? also do you have any tips to draw faster? 🙇♀️
I generally take 30 - 60 minutes a sketch,,,, but honestly really depends on how detailed it is.
Like a Chibi will be done in 20 - 25 minutes (Counting in the extra time I spend on minute details like a perfectionist 😭)
I for some reason really like spending egregious amounts of time on random objects too??? Unless it’s the in the background, I’ll spend 40 minutes refining it.
Random characters that are fully colored and rendered with take like 80 minutes.
The comics take usually take an hour or two per page. (If I decide to cross hatch it, my entire day will be gone with 4 pages… so I’ve been trying to find shortcuts. But not without sacrificing the quality for time lol)
I don’t think there’s any trick or magic to drawing faster. It’s really about weaponizing your artistic knowledge, and finding what’s comfortable or convenient for you!
There was a period of time where I would spend 11 or 12 hours on an illustration, and it wASS UGLYYYYY. (Some of these artworks are still available on my tumblr,,, but it’s SO LONG AGO, AND IT WAS MY 1ST OR 2ND YEAR GETTING INTO DIGITAL ART)
Overtime I learned what worked best for me, and practiced till I felt more comfortable with what I was drawing. Eventually I managed to shorten the time to 4 hours or less! Ambition was my biggest enemy but at the same time my biggest motivator. (And it still is LMFAO) 😭
EDIT (bit more to my way too long tangent): ALSO??? BRO DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE YOUR MESSY SKETCH AS LINEART OR DRAW ON TOP OF IT. I’VE DONE IT FOR YEARS NOW AND IT ADDS SUCH A GOOD EXTRA BIT OF TEXTURE,, AT THIS POINT I DON’T EVEN USE LINE-ART ANY MORE UNLESS IT’S A COMMISSION,, (IT’LL ADD LIKE AN 2-4 HOURS TO MY WORK)

based on an ask and tiktok i sent to @starsinthenigth here!!! the text said;; "POV: We pissed off a witch and she turned us into kittens" :DD !!!!
i know the entire ask was about if we were turned into kittens,, but i drew us as our sonas instead 'cause i'm thumbs down at drawing kitties... ☆⌒(>。<) let it be known,,, if you were a cat you'd be either a full black void cat with abilities to turn into a liquid and shift sizes at will,, or a itty bitty kitty with a space/galaxy colored coat ((glittery stars an' EVERYTHINF!!!)) with the ability to spawn tiny glowing stars that may or may not burn your house down (*´▽`*) (≧▽≦) !!!!
sorry it took me an entire WEEK;; this whole project was a rollercoaster LMAO /lh — my original idea was to do the silly little animatic thingies,, but then i realized how much time and effort that took and i didn't know how to do it right;; tried to make a few pngs of a bow and a star to edit and keyframe onto the kitties in the video and lost motivation for that after a day or two,, so i just decided to draw over my favorite pics from it ☆⌒(>。<)
