and the biggest traditional piece I ever worked on, A3, Pencils and Graphite, which took me over 18 hours:

Okay, enough rant about bad stuff..
Cleaning my lines takes me very long and I really hate that work, what do you really need a lot time for? Coloring also of course, but I don't hate that work Wink

My personal record for most work spent on a drawing is still nine hours... for this one:

Second place goes to these, at about seven hours each:

-- due to conflicts in my schedule and a lack of artistic energy, causing me to proceed very slowly

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-218640.html
-- due to the sheer scale of thought and care that went into it. (And that doesn't even include about 4 hours worth of concept sketches)

usually an hour or so on drawings , and another hour to colour them. Only once or twice have I taken around 4 hours on one painting (small details, its so much quicker painting on big scale XD).
If I dare attemt computer colouring, I take DAYS AND DAYS ..... and that's just to find the "scan" button Razz

For some of my drawings it takes,4 minutes to make one quick sketchy that is i guess okay. Sometimes it takes me 15-30 minutes. But I never take hours! I forgot the last time it took me an hour :huh:

That is a very well done motorcycle, I can see it took you a long time doing that piece. Kind of reminds me of my old semi drawing I did a few years ago. It was also big as well. I know I had it spread over 2 days or so but cant remember how long exactly, maybe around the same time as that bike of yours.

But for general interest here is the semi I did:

my stuff veries. I think I'm a better doodeler,
some stuff I can do in 10 minutes, its just a lined figure.
and some stuff like art projects can taker me up to 3 hours
but most of the time its around the 45 mins to 1 hour times

Thanks a bunch! ^_^

@Gameglitch
I could never work on similar pieces in one go, I would lose my interest for it completely. So I make mainly all of my pieces step by step, which makes it much more interesting! Wink
