12. (I mislabeled #11, sorry) On average finished works take, 3-5 hours? but I try to keep a few `styles' available so I can get ideas down in as little as ten seconds. (~10 seconds vs ~4 hours)

13. I absolutely draw the most I EVER have now, LOL. These days I do ~15 hours of comic work a week, plus 1-2 other 3-5 hour illustrations, on top of 20h of freelance contract work. & that's just the 'arting' hours 💀 don't be like me, kids

14. I am currently trying to improve the ol' work/life balance, but I am still slipping into old habits. freelancing for nearly a decade has put The Fear in me, so I have a lot of trouble rejecting work - even when my plate is already super full!!

15. I find crowds to be just tedious beyond belief, I don't have an efficient way to draw lots of little figures in scenes yet. There are many crowd scenes in one of my current GN projects, though, so, maybe, by the end of that one,,,,,

16. The easiest things to draw are… anything with a direct reference. Makes arting feel like autopilot. Whether I'm going for something more realistic or a sketchy depiction, direct reference eliminates a huge number of decisions!!
