I'm just getting into this and everything takes me ages. I see some of you guys and you look to be working at lightspeed.
So, say for example someone ask you to make a human head. How much time would you spend on it?

Don't feel discouraged at the amount of time it takes you to do something. The more times you do it the more tricks you're going to pick up on it, and soon you'll be blazing away. Just keep practicing.

I find UV lay outs and texturing the most time consumming.

Depending on the complexity, I've created characters within 24 hours or within a couple days. Check out my site for some of the stuff I've got now (link in sig).
So, just keep on practicing!

With my web design, i have to make a few different interfaces and layout for the client to choose from. Realise, some graphics companies may want this. So: You should take a long time on things, because it is expected. But, you need to strech it out as little as possible.
