coloration..by traditional around 2-3 hours if it's a small pic, also over 6 if it's difficoult one, I think :ohnoes:
by digital, around 5 in the worst case? XD I don't really know because I do so many other things while coloring and so it always takes much more than how needed LOL but I also can start and finish a picture on computer in less than 2 hours ~

3__What do you use to color?

I just had a quick question. Do you happen to have any tips for people who don't own a tablet? ^^'

Just trying to improve my drawing skills. I understand practice helps, but tips can't be bad, right?

Take my single current deviation for example. It really doesn't look all that realistic. Granted it was practically a doodle at first, but what would you do to make it better? Without a tablet of course.
