Not a tutorial per se but maybe tips/habits/your own ideas on how to draw faster? I’m always in awe at the level of completion you manage to achieve in such a short time!

thats a good question! and yea this doesnt rly demand a tutorial.

i have good news and bad news about this rly, and both are this: its a matter of near constant repetition and skill grinding.

the way i got fast is i just started working on a timer and stopped drawing at the end of 60 minutes. for the first little while it was just black and white sketches, and when i got fast enough i just started adding colour with the leftover time. this is the beginning of my timed sketches folder from septemebr 2023: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....-SKETCHES/13/?
and ive just been doing it this way since then, for the first while it was 6 timed hours a day in week long/10 day chunks, then 6 hrs every other day, and now im at 4 hours a day in 5-7 day chunks.

w the repetition and the immediate time pressure i got a lot more decisive w my drawing since 1 theres no time for second attempts rly and 2 im not married to a 1 hour drawing being perfect bc im about to do 3-5 more 1 hour drawings in the same day.

also since its only 1 hour that allows me to charge a lot less, back in the beginning it was 25usd/hr. if the price is that low then the expectation of the client is also not that high, i mean come on its only 25 bucks. that and the amount of drawings i make come together to make a near impossible environment for perfectionism to exist in.

the structure of a 1 hour commission for me usually goes like this:

5min - pose sketch
20min - drawing
20min - colouring
10min - shading
5min - final touches, shines, simple bg

if u want to train a timed comm routine id recommend starting only with the sketch/drawing of a single char, see how far u can get in 60 min. then match that standard 10 times or more until u exceed the standard. then try to match that new standard 10 times. and then repeat this forever.
