full faces

I totally agree with the memorization and practice. You will be so much faster if you aren't having to figure out HOW to paint a design WHILE you are painting the design! Perry, BTW your avatar reminded me to tell you that you have converted me to Snaz for Spidey. Red, white, and black are the only full-size snaz I have in my kit although I do have lots of small sizes of the other colors - sparkles are nice.

While 20 min a full face is long for a pro - it boils down too long to make money at. That speed is ok for someone like yourself just starting out. Don't sweat it you'll get faster over time. Twenty minutes is not uncommon for bookings with custom faces i.e, Recently I worked for a corporate client booked 15 models and 3 advanced painters and 20 min per face was allotted for full face art. Right now just try to cut you time in half.

As for painting the same art - it is very individual some are faster at repeat faces some at a new design every time. Only you can figure what it best for you. That said if you were in a speed painting class with me I'd say stick to what you know.
