A Few Questions for Comic Makers

ONE

• I don't count.

• Frequency and you pester people enough that they remember you.

• You can get through your story faster and you don't split action or important moments

TWO

• I'm horrendously slow so anywhere between 4 and 8 hours.

• 2-4 days. Exception are chapters where I do more pages to reach a story point.

• No. Everything by myself although I can reach for help with some related things, like websites.

• Getting a scene and page layout right. Most infuriating for me is choosing colors. I ragequit many times because of it.

THREE

• Don't really understand the question. Out of all I chose the ones that might have more reach for starters. Also I had to feel really confident in the story itself.
• Nope. Ideas are the least of my problems. Executing them is the big issue.
• I knew it might raise some interest with its target audience.

Yay! Those are a lot of questions!
I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities, but take into account that I am also fairly new. I have a series with 6 chapters online for the moment. Alright, here goes:

1) -How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
It depends on the chapter feeling. If there is drama, white spaces, less panels, and more splash pages are common. Per page I mostly do from 2 to 3 panels in a normal page, and from that I vary depending on how much action there must be on the page.
- If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?
I don't see advantange, so I don't do that.
-If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
I can upload a full chapter in one go. The viewers can see what to expect from that one first important moment, and it won't have to wait for annoying loading time that happens when it jumps from chapter to chapter. It helps a lot with the script, also, because you will not be trying to fix the script to enter into a one page with comprehensive narrative and cliffhanger. Now, if your thing is one page gag, of course this doesn't matter at all.

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?
For me, I am half day, or a little les per page, most of the time.
- How long does it take to do a full chapter?
A little less than half a month I have a full 26 page chapter.
- Do you have different people to help with different things?
Nope. I do everything myself.
- Which process takes the longest?
The whole pre-production may be the longest. Think the ideas, make it work, and trust that it will work, because you won't know until you have drawed the chapters if it will really work. Having all the characters designed, backgrounds, traits, etc. After that, once you are drawing, maybe the longest is the sketching process, because you go back and forth with it until its perfect, and then its just inking. I don't add color, or THAT would be the longest part.

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?
I just felt that with that idea I will express better what I need to communicate. I have a lot of ideas, but if I leave them inside they will just vanish, and I don't want that.
- Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like?
Yes, always. Even now, when I am already doing one series I am thinking in other things that one day I may do. Even searching for materials to understand better the foundations of what could be one day a series.
What inspiration has made you settle on one comic?
I don't really know. It was a recurring idea that keept forcing itself in my mind. You just have to take it out someway, to reach catharsis. All this can be very therapeutic, or just a hobby. You decide.

There's gonna be so many different answers since everyone's style is different, and for me every comic I do is different, too on how I answer these questions:

1.) How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?

It's a webseries, so I kinda don't do chapters anymore. I have...and I kinda still do for my novel (although my chapters are like split into ten parts lol)...but I feel like you don't need to worry about chapter length unless you're doing print. It doesn't need a finite size divisible by 8 for the printer, the books don't need to match in length...you don't have to worry about paper price or any of that.

But, assuming you mean episodes (because 1 page chapters would be a wild experiment), that's different. I'm currently doing a scroll format comic. Scroll formats can be really long, but because I use a lot of colors and gradients, it's a pain in the ass to get it small enough to fit within the MB cap, so I do 15ish panels per episode (some panels are quite long) knowing that each episode is kind of half an episode, but that's fine for my tapas audience. On Webtoon I'll probably upload 2 episodes per update since their MB cap is a little higher and I can upload a little less wide.

But if your scroll format is a lot of flat colors (so no gradients), then this won't matter, you can make pages really, really, really long.

For my page format comic, I did one page per update, and that was fine because I could do 1-2 updates a week, it was black and white. That was done also in western page format, which has more panels than manga since it's an 8.5x11 sized paper (which is also kind of a weird size even for western format, but I was assuming that if I printed it, it would be such a small amount printed that I would just do it on my own, with my own printer or a kinkos somewhere, so I kept it standard page sized), so I tried not to go over 12 panels (which was very rare) but rarely went less than about 5. I averaged about 7 panels per page.

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?

An episode of a scroll format comic takes 1-2 weeks, but that's because it's part time, I don't do it every day, and I don't do it on weekends either. Overall it takes 4-6 hours per episode (sometimes more, depending on if I have to do extra stuff).

I do it all on my own, and right now the longest part is coloring, but I'm getting faster as I go (so it's about 1/3 linework, 2/3 coloring) I have a weird coloring process though, made because I've been doing art a very long time, so I'm not the best person to ask. My method is strange. It's fast, but I had to do a lot of prep work to get it that fast. I think most people spend like 6 hours just coloring, and that's fine. That's actually...pretty understandable, you're doing a lot of panels in an episode. When I started out I was spending like 12 hours on just one illustration. It's...it takes a while to get faster so I wouldn't stress about speed if you are a beginner.

For my b/w comic, because it was very simple and I was doing less panels that were much smaller in size, I could finish a page in 1-3 hours, depending on detail.

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?

I spend a lot of time scripting. I started my current comic as a NaNoWriMo in 2019, and I played around with it in 2020, so it was a little less than a year of just writing out different ideas until I liked where it was going. I kinda just throw paint at a wall when it comes to scripting. You never know what doesn't work until you try it, so have fun, play around, because once you start making it into a comic--you're kinda cemented in there. It's really hard to change old comic pages, and in my experience, if you have to re-do your beginning, you'll probably end up not finishing the comic and just letting it die. So I think it's worth it to script.

As far as inspiration goes, I think a lot of things inspired me, mostly other works that I enjoy reading. Not that it's a fanfic or anything, but you can see the little easter eggs I've left of what inspired it (especially in character's names).

1.) I tend to do 25 - 35 per episode. There are usually 3 episodes per chapter, but I don't try to keep it consistent since I do exclusively vertical format.

2.) I think I can knock out 1-2 panels per hour depending on the complexity. I tend to work in phases (thumbnails, sketching/lineart, flat colors, shading). I do everything myself since this is a hobby/passion project. The sketching and shading take the longest for me to complete.

3.) I've had this idea for about 13 years. It's developed a lot over the last decade and has become something I'm very happy working on. I do have other ideas that I plan to tackle after a while, but they're much shorter projects. I'm just so in love with my characters and story that it was a no brainer for me to work on this project!

These are great questions, thanks for making this thread!

1.) How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
- I've set my minimum panel count as 10 panels per chapter, my maximum panel count is 30 panels -- released every 10-15 days.

• If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?
  • I don't do one page per chapter but I've read somewhere that the advantage is more chance of visibility since you release updates more often.
• If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
  • I think it honestly depends on the genre, which is in my case, you won't tire out the readers that much because of notification for new updates, and they will be less overwhelmed and they will be invested more into it if you're updating on your regular schedule. As a result, there's more active readers who are always updated when you release a new chapter. I also noticed most of my readers prefer longer chapters/episodes.

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?
- A colored page for me takes about 3-5 days with a maximum of 9 panels in each page (I'm working
on a mobile format btw)

• How long does it take to do a full chapter?
  • A full chapter/episode, on average, a full colored takes about 10 days if the panel count is around the total of 10-18 panels but it will take 15 days if the panel count is the total of 18-36 panels.
• Do you have different people to help with different things?
  • No, I work on all of the process alone (writing, drafts, sketch, cleanup/lineart, coloring, tones and shades, typesetting and formatting).
• Which process takes the longest?
  • Before starting the comic: Conceptualizing everything. While doing the comic, lineart and backgrounds

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?
- To be honest, I have a lot of ideas, and my current comic is a contest entry so I settled not to the best idea but the story or outline that has the most potential to be the 'best idea' -- it's more flexible to work with and I hold the ability to make the best out of it. Another advantage is that, this is my first comic, it will be very risky to work on a best idea when I myself don't have any experience in executing my story in comic format, it has a risk of going into waste so I tend have a habit of saving my best works for last and executing them once I am competent enough with my execution.

• Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like?
  • yes I have, usually it happens when I'm coming up a scenario for a particular part of the story.
• What inspiration has made you settle on one comic?
  • Honestly, i cannot really tell whether starting a comic is just a whim or a discovery. I didn't really planned on starting a comic because I thought I was bad at it but when I tried it, it turned out I can be pretty good at it. Story wise, a lot actually, but to name a few, I was inspired by the ideas of hidden messages and characters whose story were interconnected with each other once you figured out everything in the end. ^^

1)
- I average about 4-6 panels per page, so 8-12 panels per episode.
- 1 page updates only really work if there's a lot of content per page.
- I do two pages per episode. Things are always happening in my pages, I don't really leave much space for no story progression.

2)
- One page can take about 5-8 hours to do, though I have yet to time myself legitimately because of the way I make my pages.
- Months, it really depends more on motivation and free time.
- I am a solo operator.
- Sketching takes the longest to do.

3)
- I've had the Idea for my present comic for years and I was slowly building up story elements during that time. I finally decided to do it because I found an art style that I liked working in and I felt I'd done enough research.
- Yea and that comes with a lot of writing and rewriting.
- I don't know if you can call it inspiration, I just thought this comic was something I could handle and finish in a short amount of time. (I was wrong about the time thing)

I feel like there’s already plenty of good answers for 1 and 2 but I wanted to give my opinion on 3:

Inspiration comes and goes, which is why systems, like scripting and plotting, are so important to develop your story. All those really great scenes and scenarios you have are only ever going to work if they are within a narrative framework that helps us to care about the character and their journey and what’s at stake. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend reading more about story structure.

For me, I first work on certain elements of a story as tent poles, such as a solid inciting action and mid point, a clear theme and a starting and ending image for the main character to show their transformation. If those elements/tent poles are strong, and the tent can stand on its own, I’ll begin to develop the concept in greater detail (fill the tent with ideas). If not, then I put it in the ideas pile for another time.

A cool concept and great stories are not the same thing, and the sooner you realise which one you’re working with the better, so you can spend time where it counts.

How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?

I do one page per episode, and my pages usually have between 4-6 panels each. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less, but I never go above 9 or less than 3.

If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?

I do one page per episode, because I grew up on traditionally-formatted comics and classic webcomics that were formatted as individual pages, rather than scrolling formats, and that's what I like drawing. I like doing it this way because it makes my comic feel more like a comic, it means I can turn out pages fairly quickly, and I can update multiple times a week for increased visibility. An actual chapter of my comic is usually about 40 pages.

If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?

N/A

How long does it take to make one full page?

From thumbnail to colors, it probably takes me about 8 or 9 hours per page. Thumbnailing usually takes me about 15 minutes to half an hour, penciling is maybe an hour or two, inking is probably an hour or two, and then coloring can be about two to three hours, depending on how complex it is. Some pages take less time if they're less complicated, some pages take more.

How long does it take to do a full chapter?

So in this case, a chapter for me is about 40 pages. When I sit and work on my comic in earnest, I usually complete about ten pages a week, so a 40-page chapter would take me about four weeks to finish.

Do you have different people to help with different things?

I have an editor who will look over my story and my thumbnails to help make sure my visual storytelling is the best it can be, but that's it. Everything else is all me.

Which process takes the longest?

Coloring for sure, though now that I'm using Clip Studio more, that is going a lot faster than it used to.

How did you come to settle on one idea?

I have so many different ideas for comics floating around in my brain and in various notebooks and sketchpads and Google Docs, that I found myself just going back and forth between everything and never committing to anything. Finally I just told myself, "I am going to do a webcomic. I'm just going to do the next idea that pops in my head and do that, no questions asked." So I did!

Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like?

Yup! See above answer. I have a ton of half-developed story ideas. I'll get really into one for a while, then hop to another one for a few weeks, then back to a different one for a while.

What inspiration has made you settle on one comic?

It wasn't really a matter of inspiration making me settle on one, as it was discipline and determination. I knew I wanted to do a webcomic to help me practice my skills, and I knew that if I just relied on inspiration to strike, I would waffle about it forever. So rather than rely on my inspiration, I forced myself to make a decision and commit to something and stick with it.

That's a very thorough list of questions! I definitely should have been asking them before I began making my comic, but I just flew in blind, haha. I assume you're thinking of starting a webcomic?

How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
I'm aiming for around 17 - 22 panels per chapter now. I would like to do more, but that's as much as I can manage in one week. (I have a more time-intensive art style than a lot of other comic artists.)

If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?
I used to. I stopped doing it because the disadvantages on mobile apps like Tapas and WEBTOON drastically outweigh the advantages. Nevertheless, I'll list what was advantageous.

• Posting more means your series gets bumped to the top of the 'newest comics' list in your genre.
• Creating in page format makes eventual printing super easy, since you don't have to reformat anything.

If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
This is the ideal way to go. I started seeing more success when I switched to a multi-page, mobile-friendly scrolling format on both Tapas and WEBTOON.

• Longer episodes allow the reader to immerse themselves in the tone of your story, and properly 'feel' whatever emotions you're trying to convey.
• Readers prefer it, and will be much more likely to sub to a comic which has longer episodes.
• It helps immeasurably with pacing, as you're thinking and drafting in scenes, or scene-fragments, rather than in pages.
• Being at the top of the 'newest comics' list is only helpful when you're right at the beginning of building a following. Advertising your comic on social media and Reddit is more lucrative.

How long does it take to make one full page?
Between 5 to 8 hours. Every time I speed something up, I add more detail. I'll get that number down eventually!

How long does it take to do a full chapter?
About three full working days, though I often leave speech bubbles and lettering until the weekend.

Do you have different people to help with different things?
I do everything myself. Some of the more successful creators will pay for someone to help by laying down flat colours and such.

Which process takes the longest?
Lighting and shadows. It's my favourite part of the process, but definitely the most time-intensive.

How did you come to settle on one idea?
I have an absolutely massive comic project based in a huge extended universe I've spent more than a decade worldbuilding. I'm not ready as a writer or an artist to begin the main story; I've never made a comic before, and I want that story to be as close to a professional quality as I can make it. But I could choose one of many side-stories within that universe to 'cut my teeth on', so to speak. I chose Blue Star Rebellion because it would challenge me artistically, and push me to improve on things like action scenes, man-made structures and such.

Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like?
I dabbled gently with a few, but as soon as I landed on the beginning of a plot for Blue Star Rebellion, I knew I'd found what I needed, and I dove straight into it.

What inspiration has made you settle on one comic?
I really love the characters in Blue Star Rebellion. A number of them also show up in Dragonfeathers, and they're characters which don't get as much exploration in Dragonfeathers, so this side-story helps shine a spotlight on them. Also, I had a plot. I'd written out the whole of the first and second chapters, so deciding to just continue with this one was a bit of a no-brainer. Now that I've put more work into fleshing out all of the characters, I'm loving it more and more.

Hey, welcome to Tapas!

• About ten. My updates after late in chapter 0 consist of basically two print pages spread out a little and stacked. My average panel count per page is about 5.

• Switching to two pages in a single update instead of one page twice a week impacted the pacing in a good way. When you upload single pages, you can't do pages that are just building up to something or spent in quiet reflection. Everything has to have a punchline or a moment of impact. When I work in pairs, I can have longer conversations and more room to build atmosphere, plus the less "every page is a wham!" will work better for the print edition, so I'm happy with it.

• HAHAHAHAHA Oh god probably like 6-8 hours?

• Around 6 months per chapter.
• My partner is a Designer by trade so they help me when it comes to design and promo stuff, and also advised me on font choice and line spacing, but everything on the day to day page production is just me.

• The inking probably?

• Well, Errant is a reboot of an old comic I used to make nearly a decade ago. I let it slip because it wasn't quite working, but I still felt a lot of passion towards the characters and themes, so I revived it, while fixing some of the issues I felt were holding the old version back.

• I come up with ideas all the time. Usually I write them down for when the time is right or fold them into other ideas. I've toyed with other comics and projects a lot.
• I settled on this one for web because I already knew and loved the characters and was still getting fanart of them years later, and some things with a similar vibe have had success since then like She Ra, Rat Queens etc. So I felt like this was the webcomic I wanted to make and that might have a shot at gaining readers. It's not my only project though. I'm working on a different comic for print right now.

1.) How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
I do one page per update. Traditional format goes on ComicFury and Wordpress, vertical format goes on Tapas and Webtoons. Panels per chapter can really vary a lot: so far I have three very short chapters and two longer ones. Short chapters can be anywhere from 10 to 20 panels, while longer ones can go up to 60 and more panels. A single page can contain from 3 (rare, nowadays) to 7 panels.

- If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?
(I'm going to answer as if we're talking about 1 page per update, as I don't really do 1 page chapters :D)
First and foremost: it's a speed I can keep up with. I have a full time job and my only free time is during the weekends, so I'm lucky if I can get a single page done each week. I do have a buffer, but it's still not enough to justify longer/more frequent updates. Additional reasons: 1. one page per chapter allows me to be on the front page more often, which means more opportunities for people to discover my work; 2. frequent updates make a long story like mine easier to keep up with. There's quite a bunch of stuff happening, with lots of characters and plenty of details to keep in mind (it's a mystery, after all :D)... since I can't update faster, one page a week allows me to keep the interest high. If I were to post only completed chapters and/or multiple pages at once, it'd take weeks or even MONTHS between one update and the other... and from what I've seen so far, people are more likely to lose their interest and leave if they have to wait for that long.
I always try to make sure to "cut" my episodes in a way that hopefully feels interesting, be it by inserting a joke, or maybe a tiny cliffhanger or... well, anything that might encourage readers to want to find out more, lol.

- If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
I used to, and to be honest my experience was pretty much the exact opposite of what was mentioned above :'D I'd update with two pages every two weeks in long scroll format on Webtoons, but my numbers would grow at a snail's pace and more often than not I'd lose readers with each update instead of getting new ones. As soon as I switched to weekly/"single page" updates, however, my numbers started to grow again. I'm also losing less readers, meaning that shorter/faster updates are probably easier for my audience to keep up with.
I know that a lot of people say that longer updates are better for readers because they have more stuff to sink their teeth into, buuut... alas, that wasn't my experience at all :'D

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?
Anywhere from 6 to 13 hours.
- How long does it take to do a full chapter? If I were to work solely on my comic for 8 hours a day... around 14-15 days for longer chapters and around 2-4 days for shorter ones. But since I can't really work on the comic for 8 hours a day... around 1-2 months per chapter XD
- Do you have different people to help with different things? Nope, I do everything on my own :'D
- Which process takes the longest? Coloring and shading, definitely.

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?
A lot of my characters were originally created for a RPG game I used to play. The game is no longer active, but I felt like those characters and their stories still had a lot of potential and really wanted to do something with them. I was in doubt between writing a novel or creating a comic, but I felt like the comic format would suit the story more.
- Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like? Nah, I'm really slow at coming up with ideas, so when I come up with one I feel would work, I stick to it like there's no tomorrow :'D
- What inspiration has made you settle on one comic? Pretty much already answered above I had a lot of material already, a story I really wanted to tell and characters I loved. Also, I really, really wanted to get back into the world of making comics, so I figured I might as well do it starting from something I'm very passionate about

Welcome to Tapas ! I think you'll feel at ease here, the community here is pretty nice and always up to provide help ^^

Now, let's answer those questions !

1)
- I tend to do a full episode per page, so about 50-60 panels, and a full chapter has an average of 10 pages, so i would say about 550 panels per chapter.
- I don't see how i could do that ^^'
-I think it let me more space to develop the characters and to create the right mood for every situation (Tension, suspense etc...)

2)
- If i can spend full time on a page i can do it in two weeks, but with my current job i can only do a page per month.
- 6 month, now i would say a year.
- Nope, i work all alone on it ^^
- Sketching... I think it's because i don't like sketching that much and tend to change some panels a lot during it.

3)
- I like to imagine stories for drawings i do, and at some point i just enjoyed to draw a bad ass lady in a suit and the story just started to pop in my mind.
- Oh hell yes, most of the time i write them all down and go through them with someone else to get another point of view and sort them out.
- I guess i'm just passionate about the setting right now ! Prohibition was a hell of a time ^^

1.) How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
I tend to do 5 or 6 but I don't like my panel setup and plan to improve that
- If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
It feels like a natural end to the scene.

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?-
I sketch the scene, clean it up, figure out dialogue, and simple colour, so about a day and 1/2 if I'm not doing anything else
How long does it take to do a full chapter?
Depends on where I think a natural end should be. A 3pg chapter takes about a week, longer...takes longer
- Do you have different people to help with different things?
no
- Which process takes the longest?
colouring

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?
I only had one

1.) I do around 3-4 pages per update. Each page has around 4 panels. An update has around 12-16 panels. I feel like you can enjoy that more and it's also faster to finish the chapter. My comic is also very long.

2.) Around 2,5 hours. It really depends. If there are buildings, cars and backgrounds it will take longer. It takes me around a year to finish a longer chapter. I do everything on my own. The lineart takes a long time. The lineart takes an hour. There's just so much to draw.

3.)That's a hard one. I've tried out many different types of comics. I didn't just settle with one. I have multiple comics. I'm usually inspired by the things I like at the moment. If I find something interesting then that's all I want to see or hear about.

Sorry not good at advice XD

I literally only started uploading two days ago but I'll give this a shot.

1. How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?

• If by "chapter" you mean individual update, then I don't have a set amount. I try to make each update feel at least reasonably complete though so I won't leave any potential readers hanging. I plan to upload in batches of 3-6 pages, which is roughly 10-25 panels.

2. How long does it take to make one full page?

• It usually takes me around 1.5-2 hours to make a page.
• So, using simple maths, you can calculate that a single update takes me 5-10 hours to make.
• As for individual chapters of my story (which I am calling "segments"), I'm not sure. The first segment of my comic may even reach up to 80 pages in length, so probably quite a while.
• I do everything by myself (like most amateur comic creators I feel).
• Colouring takes me the longest, but the hardest step for me is coming up with panel layouts.

How do you come to settle on one idea?

• Typically, I have many different scenarios in my head from the start. Gradually, I filter out the unsuitable scenarios while building onto the more suitable ones. Eventually, a completed scene/idea takes shape.
• Yes, many times. It's quite frustrating when you just can't figure out what you want to do. I have a basic idea of what's going to happen in my story, but I rarely plan ahead any specific details because I feel that if I now everything that is going to happen in my story, I'll become bored of writing it myself.
• I really like introspective stories with intense characterization and drama. I'm also a fan of a more gradual sense of horror (paranoia with a slow, tense build up) and obscure/weird creature designs. I enjoy surrealism too. And of course, nothing is complete without a hearty dollop of slice of life!
  I think my main sources of inspiration for my story would be anime/manga like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Higurashi, Madoka Magica, the works of horror fiction authors such as H.P Lovecraft and a few webcomics that I enjoy (Ava's Demon, Stand Still Stay Silent, Ghost Eyes among others).

1.) How many panels/slides do you like to do per chapter?
Usually it adds up to about 6-7 panels! More isn't unheard of though.
- If you do 1 page per chapter, what's the advantage to that?
I'm gonna assume you mean per update, and that's usually what I do. It won't drain me of pages and/or sanity and it's not terrible to keep up with.
- If you do more than one page per chapter, what do you feel is best about that?
Definitely exposure and viewer interest. I think viewers are more engaged the more often you update; I'd recommend that it instead be multiple updates across the week as opposed to just multiple page in one post.

2.) How long does it take to make one full page?
About... 8 hours? 12 hours? Depends on the page.
- How long does it take to do a full chapter?
Hard to say. I lock myself to a page a week, and if one chapter is 26 pages, so 26 weeks... so a couple of months.
- Do you have different people to help with different things?
Nope. All by meself.
- Which process takes the longest?
Coloring. It takes a bit longer than lineart.

3.) How did you come to settle on one idea?
I kicked around several ideas for a while and saw what one I kept coming back to? I had several comic ideas for a while, and my comic All Good Things is what I kept idly thinking about, so that's the one I did!
- Have you ever jumped through ideas until you found one you like?
Yup. A lot. I still am, and I don't think that's ever really gonna stop. The more I intake media, the more new ideas I get that are inspired by that media.
- What inspiration has made you settle on one comic?
Probably... Dear, Evan Hansen. I love musicals, so that's probably that!
