        3. @noirbatch hmm.. Youtube has many tutorials. It takes some of the edge off of learning I think. Still, patience is the most important part. My first full pony took me about 8 hours because I was obsessed with getting the lines just right and I didn't know that fewer nodes meant easier manipulation.

          1. @pony Really?! My average one takes like, 3 days (4 hours of work each day.) ;_; Blaah! xD

            1. @minti I traced my first one so it was easier than going from scratch. Also, I had some experience with vectoring prior to my first pony so it was easier still. Now I can trace slightly more complex ponies and it still takes me about 6 hours because I like to make my vectors modular for later reuse. I'm thinking of making them less modular though like Lyrica so that I can go faster

              1. @pony xD I still only trace and it takes forever. I have NO clue how people can do custom vectors without sketching and inking something first. :/

                1. @minti That comes easier once you have the character designs down pat from repeated practice. I have yet to achieve that.

    3. @noirbatch You shouldn't. it's too mainstream and it all looks the same.

      1. @abigpony I'm not doing it for others expense. It is a great used of the pen tool. I would enjoy killing time with it

        1. @noirbatch Enjoy the pen tool? I don't think that's possible.

          1. @abigpony I have been rotoscoping for the past 7 years in after effects, so every bit of practice helps

            1. @noirbatch Whatever.

    4. @aeniug2 yeah. I've never been a doodler. The best artists always doodle in their free time.
