Is it OK to draw slow?

Absolutely not! When I first started out drawing, I was pretty slow and that’s just normal for a beginner. Over time you’ll eventually learn to draw faster and neater. My sketches used to take around 30 minutes to complete, and now they take around 5 for a nearly done sketch.

Is it better to draw fast or slow?

If you are slow and concious about what you are doing, eventually it will become an unconcious skill and automatically you can speed things up. However the speed at which you are drawing depends also on the product you want to create, if you want to create fine art, speed is not really that important.
