How Long Should It Take to Draw a Character?
Drawing a character can be a long and involved process, depending on the level of detail and complexity desired. Here are some factors to consider when estimating how long it should take to draw a character:
– Style: The style of the character will affect the amount of time it takes to draw. A more realistic style will take longer than a cartoon or anime style.
– Size: The size of the character will also affect the amount of time it takes to draw. A full body character will take longer than a bust or head shot.
– Detail: The level of detail desired will also affect the amount of time it takes to draw. A character with more details, such as clothing, accessories, and facial features, will take longer than a character with minimal details.
– Medium: The medium used to draw the character will also affect the amount of time it takes. A character drawn in pencil will take less time than a character drawn in ink or with flat color.
– Experience: An experienced artist will be able to draw a character faster than a novice artist.
Overall, a drawing of a character, full body or bust, inked and flat color, can take me anywhere from 6 hours to 12 across several days. This is just an estimate, however, as the actual time will depend on the factors mentioned above.
