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

For me it depends on what kind of show I'm working on, how good the images are I'm working on, and if I'm in the mood. Lately I've been making a lot of icons and I've been working with caps of the same colouring and consistency so it's easier and faster. But I probably still spend anywhere from five to fifteen minutes on each, depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes longer if I decide I want to do something with a lot of textures.

This icon I'm using here was probably twenty to thirty minutes.

Oh, I hadn't thought about the show, and how the colouring of it might effect (affect? - you'd think I'd have learned which one to use by now, eh?) but okay, yeah. Some shows take a longer time to work with, I find Buffy a bitch a lot of the time.
