Dear People Who Make Icons,

I just read this "It ususally doesn't take that long for me to make an icon ( 20 -30 minutes) unless I'm trying to get text on it" in a post.

Is this an average thing? Because if an icon isn't coming together for me in about a minute, I scrap it. I cannot imagine spending that kind of time on an icon.

Sincerely,
A person who sometimes makes icons

No, I'm with you there. Yeah huh.

Sometimes I take a bit longer for the challenge icons but not very often. :p (this could be why I don't win a lot)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I like your icons.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

You'll get faster eventually. Mmmhmm.

I tried an action thingy before, I didn't care for it that much.

I don't use brushes or at least not very often because I'm not good with them but uh yeah, I'm not sure what these people are doing. A lot of fiddling would be my guess.

This is why my icons don't take long at all, I don't do anything special with them.

Holy crap.

I'm more of the five minute school, but if the circumstances demand otherwise, I'll take as much time as it takes. The one I'm using on this post took at least an hour, due to the technical demands (likewise, the James K. Polk one took forever), but usually it just takes as long as it takes to crop/resize it and slap a one-pixel black border around it.

5 minutes to a max of 10. If I'm going to spent half an hour on an icon, I'd rather be doing something else instead!
