About 13-15 hours, because I was trying out some very different ways of doing backgrounds and shading. And it was a background which I had never really done in full detail before. (An indoor theme.)

I think it's this one

It's my first digital painting and it took more than 24 hours :|

I've spent so much time in it because I have no experience and had some problems with the shading and to pick the right colors... Damn, I have always such a hard time to chose colors :smoking:

I've absolutely no idea how long it took but I'm pretty sure it took longer than anything else I've done :)

I think it took me about the same amount of time for these. About 3 days.

I had to fire it a few times to get the effect I wanted.

This, because I had to make all those tiny clusters by hand.

I worked on this cartoon for months... It''s not great.

To be honest, I don't time how long my drawings take. I never really saw the point of it, unless there was a deadline . . . that being said I think this one took the longest? I just know it felt like awhile, but it was fun to make!

this one I guess... but I have many others that took me very long, I can't tell which particularly was the longest one, because I'm an endless finisher and perfectionist T_T

My latest. Most of my pieces take around the same amount of time... but this one used the most amount of programs (3), so there's that.

Prolly that o3o
tho it's debatable, especially if you count having to redraw a comic page as it taking longer.
