Once I get situated and actually put brush to paint, about 20-30 min. The hard part is getting setup and comfy.

As for outlines, I will grid things out sometimes. I just did a small design on my fullface helmet, and I actually sketched out the whole thing with Stabilio pencil.

Well, I have worked out a routine....I practice lines at night, then after a few days, I do a panel. Here is my latest....

DarTrak, I am really noticing a lot of progress. I am thinking I will probably go a bit over the 30 days we talked about before I am ready to send you yours. Seeing how good of work you are doing, makes me want to give you a really quality piece.....
