A Random Practice Fantasy Babe 99% drawn in Sketchbook Pro 6--did the whip in Photoshop CS4. I just wanted to try another fully-digital drawing without involving paper. Hopefully I'll get as good at digital drawing as I am at traditional art someday... it's a lot more efficient not having to scan and not being limited by paper size and all.
Now that I'm embracing digital drawing directly on the screen (with the Surface Pro) it makes me wonder--and eager to find out--what it would be like to use a Cintiq.

Now in color!

How much time did you figure you saved by working directly digital?
As for time, tt's hard to say. I think I lost a lot of time by going back and changing my mind on a lot of details (her outfit went through like a dozen revisions and I'm still not really satisfied but I let it go)...the freedom that undo and layers gives you can turn a quick sketch into an epic design challenge, and after six hours you could still end up with rough, unrefined lines.
But, I will say that normally I would do a rough with simple lines for the details, then try to tightly draw said details, clean up, then either ink it traditionally or with the pen tool in Photoshop, so, skipping the tight drawing and the clean up process and going straight to "ink", I think it shaves about 1/3 of the time off.
