Its funny you say 30 hours and I think "what the heck would I do for 30 hours". I think I have been doing it long enough and have my drawing area setup. Also I don't use very many tools. I sort of have a routine down, where I always know what the next step is. A year or two ago when I really got back into drawing it was taking me like 12 hours a drawing but the more I do it the less I have to erase a part and do it again or keep going back and forth with tone in an area
What really saved me time on this one was establishing the dark value of his hair along the hairline. Normally what happens to me is I get the face to where I think it's good, then I do the hair and the face looks too light by contrast and I have to go back and reassert the darks and blend it back out. This is especially a problem with dark hair
I am rambling. But I hope someone can get something from it
I am thinking of drawing Eva Green next
