simplicity often looks good.

the trick is to not count the amount of time for quality, but quality for the amount of time.

i usually take 2 hours on my sigs, but that is because it takes me a while to get the direction of where i'm going. if you have a basic idea on how it SHOULD look, instead of an idea of what yuo will use, the time will go quicker and more efficiently.

like, for example. if i told you to make me a capachino:

you should:

1) follow the instructions in your minnd, put this in, then this, then this, equals this.

or

1) try anything. just put this, oops, too much, take some out, put this, oops, too little, put more, EVENTIALLY, you'll get the capachino.

both end up being a capachino, but one took less time because you KNEW WHERE YOU WERE GOING AND HOW TO GET THERE

where as the other one, you knew where you were going but didn't know how to get there.
