Oh yeah, Iā€™ve been working on my times haha. They used to take hours, and Iā€™m used to spending 60+ hours on traditional pieces. But Iā€™ve drawn so many digital ones that at this point Iā€™m able to complete them very quickly. My goal was to develop a technique that would produce a good result, but also not take many hours.

Could you explain the technique?
Staring too long at my iPad mini makes my head hurt lol

I work general to specific. I think thatā€™s generally recommended in the art world, but I didnā€™t have an art teacher until about 2 years ago, so everything Iā€™m saying Iā€™ve more or less learned myself. So with digital, I start with a ā€œblock in.ā€ I donā€™t do outlines anymore, but I used to. I find it easier to just block in basic colors. I squint at my reference, and just try and place down the first colors I can identify. Normally with a rectangular brush to keep it loose. Then, I continue building on that base. Just zooming in and out, adding details in the most important areas. Depending on the style, Iā€™ll build up more with little brushstrokes vs starting off with a really blurry base. (Like the algae eater work in progress vs the gourami). Hope that is of some help! Iā€™ll answer questions best I can :)
