And even if she is not all the great, she still can have experience or draw faster than avarage people. Of course, I don't know all the details so I'm just speculating.

Secondly, it depends on how she drew the image. She could have used a mouse, a tablet (that I don't know its name) that imports what she draws to the computer.

I'm also pretty sure that they didn't save that much time with it. An episode is done by 9-12 months and if you count the nocturnal scenes in UA, the most of the background was pure black which is also because of saving money and time.

When you look up some characters that were redesigned to have more details, like Kevin, Albedo, Paradox (he might look ridiculous but his look has a lot more details now), Argit, Animo, etc. you can't say that they were lazy with them. Then again, UA used the same models for all humans which is not a problem but there was just too much look-a-like. Devin-Paradox which comes to my mind now.

I think, I'm going to sleep now because I'm far to tired to write things that actually make sense. She actually isn't much better than average, at least by comparison to some artists who expect to make a living off of their artwork. However, IMO, she is amazing, which is why I asked her to draw me the image. Of course, I can't draw, so my view may be biased due to my own shortcomings.

She drew it on paper, scanned it, then colored it with Paint.

UA was more realistic because of it. In the OS, Ben was, quite literally, on summer vacation. In UA he had school and such to deal with.

More details don't necessarily take longer to create, if they are low-quality and/or repetitive enough. Why do you think the Omnitrix symbol was changed from a circle to a (sort of) hexagon? Sure, it's got more detail (more sides), but it's also easier to draw. Try drawing a perfect circle. Now try drawing a highly imperfect hexagon-like shape. Which one took longer? Which one was easier?
