Thank you so much!!!💜💜💜 Hearing this means everything to me!
Thank you for your question! Sorry the answer wasn't so quick.
It usually takes me from a few hours to a few days, depending on the art I'm making. If it's just a detailed sketch, it normally takes an evening (I'm more productive near the end of the day).
Full-colored art with background takes at least two days, but I also like to just leave the almost finished drawing be for some time so I can return and finish it later. That helps me see my mistakes that I previously missed and generally take a fresh look at it.
As for the process… I always start with a sketch. I might not always have a clear idea of what I wanna do, but it's much easier for me to figure it out as I go.
Also, I was making this art specifically for this ask and intended it to be just a colored sketch, but something went wrong, oops!
