Description
Some of you have, at various points, expressed a desire to draw like me. This is probably because you are crazy. In the wake of the deregulation of the mental health industry, unfortunately, the best I can do is give you this.If you liked this, check out my updated tutorial!

Hmm
I have a personal aversion to vectors, I'd feel less talented if I used them
I also usually don't bother taking the hour, hour and a half that it takes to make a digital inking. Not anymore, a lot of my earlier pics I did that, and ugh, so painfully time consuming. I've thought about using my light table to do inking, when I do go over my pictures a second time to get a cleaner copy I use a mech pencil.
The line layer can mean a difference worth a thousand points of win in the eyes of the viewer though. So I'm feeling a constant struggle of "we want it to look neat" "I want it to be finished"
I don't think the lines are worth as much as they seem to be though, my most recent work [link] is getting as many views and favorites as any of my earlier pics that I put the time into, maybe it's just a natural improvement of my skills or a general increase in my page's traffic... but I'm finding I don't have to take the time to be clean to win

I use vectors to compensate for inadequacies in my penmanship. Thus it's more accurate to say that I use vectors because I'm less talented, not that I'm less talented because I use vectors.
However, regardless of how I feel about my own abilities, it's the result that matters--though I don't have to tell you that. I will say that the 14 hours I cited in the chart wasn't an exaggeration, so I definitely lean more toward the "make it look neat" side.

I said "I'd feel less talented if I used them"
The word "you" isn't anywhere in that sentence, and you shouldn't take it that way
I don't get 1/4th the amount of favorites you do so what wins for me isn't half a win for you.
I have plenty of other justifications to myself for my methods... "I like art that speaks of being created by a human, rather than a solid piece of linework the viewer perceives as real (in 3d space) and believes it magically jumped into existence, the computer made it"
But, that's all BS, I just greatly enjoy the challenge moreso than I enjoy making something that's awesome to look at... and I don't know, playing with bezier handles makes me feel like a monkey.
I'm really too lazy to put up with the tedium - and the war of attrition between the art creator and the tedious project is how most digital art today is created. Ever tried unwrapping a 3d model? 90% of my fellow students screamed in outrage "THIS SHOULD BE A BUTTON!!!~"

I could draw like you...but I'd need a huge injection of this "talent" stuff I hear all the artists have.

Talent....hahahahahaha
Talent is actually a metaphor
Or a euphemism
Or a misconception
Or a something that means something which it isn't way of saying "tons and tons of hard work"
