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

Well, it depends. Usually, it takes me about 5 minutes to make one, sometimes less just because I like it simple and coloring's the only thing that I'm screwing around with. If it's supposed to be something special, I do take longer. The icon coming with this comment drove me nuts for 30 minutes probably and I found that more than frustrating *nods* I prefer things to go swift, yo.

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