How Long Does It Take To Make A Drawing?

[@Kluca1111]

What a perfect subject! You're right - so many people get defeated before they even start because they think it has to be time-consuming and complicated, not to mention "perfect." Thanks for this inspiration!

[@KoosjeKoene]

You are so welcome!

[@chidimma3833]

These drawings are so nostalgic 😍😍

I also get lost in time when I draw. I will try the timer approach to see what that is like. Thank you. This will be interesting.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Getting lost in time can be a good thing. But if you feel like you need a lot of time, the timer approach will be interesting to find out how much you can get done with a time restriction.

@@KoosjeKoene Thank you for your response. I really want to try the timer now. I was taught fast sketching so this should be good!

@@JoAnneSmith-di8ok Have fun!

this is fascinating ☺☺

[@eileengoldenberg270]

Great advice. I often say 30 years! Or “ what does it matter ? “

[@KoosjeKoene]

Those are both really good replies! Love it.

When I draw I seldom remember when I started. I get so immersed in my work that I lose all track of time. That makes it so relaxing and mind clearing. I do not care if it took five minutes or five hours.

[@KoosjeKoene]

So true! It doesn't matter.

[@gatina7713]

Wow amazing! I thought it would take longer.

[@KoosjeKoene]

Everybody has their own pace, of course, but indeed, sometimes less time is actually better, to keep the movement and flow in the drawing.

@KoosjeKoene Thank you 😊

short and sweet encouraging big sister talk - without finger pointing - but that might be okay!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Haha while I am a small sister and not anyone's big sister!

[@jimorlowski5051]

@@KoosjeKoene perhaps, but youre a 'big sister' for many in the context of sketching...your thoughts and encouragement are welcomed however it's cast....thanks

@@jimorlowski5051 Thanks, I love that!

[@laurasantos6126]

That's why I tell the viewers how much time I spent in each drawing, when I post them on my Instagram account

[@KoosjeKoene]

Very smart! To be frank - often I just don't know exactly because I forget about time.

[@laurasantos6126]

@@KoosjeKoene me too! But first thing I use to do before starting to draw is to see the time on the clock. My drawings are very detailed, so I must delivery all information to the public, and this also includes materials used. The time flies when I'm drawing! That's the beauty of this craft 🥰
