Very nice! Yeah technical drawings take ages :-D but it's worth it, all those little details adds so much to the final result.

I can see why most entertainment design folks just go straight to painting, rather than doing line art and coloring after. Painting lets you knock out entire planes in just a couple strokes so it saves you so much time D:

For this kind of stuff you can also toon-shade a 3D model, print it (for example) and use it as some sort of model, if speed is the issue!

Or maybe I misunderstood what you meant? I mean some paintings can surely be done more quickly but that's probably removing details (or the artist is very good :-).
