How do i get faster at digital painting?

Try different methods, watch other artist paint via streams, youtube, etc. to see what methods they use (traditional, digital, etc.). Best advice would be focus less on blending out colors, that'll take up a lot of your time.

You'll get faster by drawing a lot.

this is your answer OP. Also nothing wrong with being slow.

Zoom out and use big brushes. Start with the largest masses and work smaller progressively.
Sorry to say but putting that much time into that piece was a waste.
Don't pixel push. Work traditional for a while if you need to keep yourself from being able to zoom in and pointlessly noodle.

>It took about 4 or 5 months, working about 2 or 3 hours a day on it

So you're saying you spent at least 240 hours on the drawing you've attached?

Are you shitting us? Do you have any diagnosed mental disabilities? Are you jerking off after every stroke? Even for a beginner, that is an absurd amount of time.

Not OP but the same problem here, I made a """Decent""" drawing that I havent finished yet and I have spent like a month working on it 6 o 5 hours every day and it still looks like shit

You'll be surprised that there are digital artists who take months to finish a piece while doing shitty sketchwork on side. But they only upload their 'completed' works on their blogs. These people are either perfectionists, hobbyists, or have some form of mental disability. Or perhaps they get irritated for more than two hours of sitting.

Polishing a turd is not a viable method, if you spend that much time, there has to be a problem in the way you approach a painting.
Gesture, construction, clean up, big masses and from there it's just laying down blobs of color and refining your edges. When you reach the point where it would be just mindless polishing, stop, post, get critique and apply it either by adjusting or starting over entirely.

Basically, mileage does a lot. But only if you have the theory down, if you analyze your mistakes. Repeating them over and over won't do anything besides engraving your name into /ic/ cringe threads.
