Of late I have been increasingly of the opinion that I oughtn't to use digital media at all, since in my case the tablet seems to take longer than traditional media. I was starting to feel like I am just too slow to be an illustrator, which is kind of a scary thought. So I did an experiment. I asked one of my peers, Joe Johnson, to take the sketch I did and time how long it took for him to ink it. I did the same.

I don't know how long the sketch took, Inking took me 28 min, Flats took 31, Shading took and hour and 19 minutes
7:57-8:25-8:56-10:15
Mr. Johnson took 29 minutes, but his linework is far more interesting:

So, I think I can continue to play with digital, but I do need to make my linework more interesting.
