She/they, 23, trying my best :')

Someone recently asked about a particular design choice and it somehow turned into me asking myself why I do any of this to begin with. I don't know if it makes an ounce of sense but here is my answer

How long does it normally take you to finish making your art?

(Also, I love your art style)

SDHGJKFFHGFHKJ tysm!! tbh I've been struggling to get my art style to a place I'm happy with for a long time- still working on it but I'm glad you like it so far!

As for your question about how long my art takes- it depends! (obligatory boring answer)

Right now it feels like I work sooooo slowly but I'm trying to be more patient with myself- it's a skill you've gotta build up with practice/experience. I'm lowkey getting back into fanart after a huge (like 4-5 years huge) dead period so I'm still trying to figure out my workflow :')

A lot hinges on how complicated the initial idea is, how polished I want it to be, and how many new things I'll have to learn to properly execute it.

Really basic posts (mostly just studies or doodles I wanted to clean up a little) take two or three days with maybe 3-5 hours per day. More complicated/polished posts take closer to a week/week and a half.

The most recent couple posts were originally on one big doc that I split for my own sanity to make more digestible. Started those on June 1st and posted on the 4th and 10th, but have been spending a little more time than usual per day to complete them.

This is already long so I'll end it here but if you wanna know more about process or how I got back into making fanart again, I will GLADLY talk your ear off
