I do all the writing and art for my comic.
One page can take anywhere between 10-20 hours depending on how complex the scene is or how much information I need to convey. There's a lot of tedious work that goes into line art, shading, coloring, etc.
I'm hoping to gradually speed up my process so I can actually finish this story sometime in the next, oh I don't know, 60 years.
I am quite alone... problem is, I haven't found anyone dedicated enough to work with. For the most part, the friends I know could help with my efforts, but none are dedicated enough to put in the hours of work I put in.
I work alone, and more or less I take 6 hours in finish the lineart for 3 pages and more than 8 in colour those pages, depending how much time I have.
I'm alone. I work from the storyboarding to the final coloring of the page. It takes me anywhere between 2-5 hours to get done, depending on how complicated the page is.
for my series I am the sole creator, writer and character designer, but I work with an artist/tonal artist for the main portion of the series and for side story chapter/promotional art I work with a few different people. Its a blessing having a network of talented people to work with 
I work solo and can get anywhere from 1 to 3 pages done a day.
Since I do freelance work, i rarely have a day. The paying jobs come first.
I would rather be drawing my comics, rather than a map for a board game, but that's life.
I work alone, but I do bounce ideas off of my wonderful boyfriend so that helps so much.
Since my new comic is only a single panel comic for now (will turn into a comic strip or a comic book next year) it takes me a day to do everything.
But when I was doing my comic book for my other series I could do 3 pages a week if I worked my butt off.
It all depends if I get distracted and that usually does happen, a lot.
I work alone, however I brainstorm idea's with my friends. Specially when I so inspireless. I sketch out, scan en work out everything by myself each week. Shouldn't be more then few hours (depends on the comic, characters ,backgrounds etc)
and that I'm really easily distracted by anything xD
I work alone but, when I am brainstorming of most ideas I talk to my brother about. It takes about 8 to 10 hours to make a rough draft of an entire chapter, this can help point me in the right direction so I am not drawing blindly. Then each page will roughly take me 8 to 10 hours just to make. Easier pages with lots of close ups will take me 4 to 6 hours. Fighting pages or any pages with more dramatic actions or fighting will take me a day and a half just to complete.
Well, for mine and it's only black and white for one page it's about 3-4 hours and double that for 2 pages. Maybe I work slow?
Forever alone on my comics. But they're really easy to make and take me less than an hour, yet still I think there aren't enough hours in one day...
I'm alone. Drawing a page can take a few hours or a day, depending on the content. Colouring takes a whole day or more. Sometimes I can smash through four pages a week, other times I can be stuck on a single panel for days. New elements can throw me off and being picky about dialogue holds me up, but it's all swings and round abouts. I get there eventually and hope it's worth the wait for everyone else.
I work alone on my comic. It's be nice if I could divide the work I do a bit though, having someone who inks and someone else to do color would free up so much time for the stuff that gets ignored(new banners/ adverts/ etc.).
But I've never been comfortable just handing parts of the comic off to others, though, I like learning all the tricks on my own.
...That and I'm not popular enough to attract that sort of help to begin with.
All alone, which does suit me because I spontaneously add or change story points in a flash in my head.
I do have a couple of friends I bounce ideas off from though. It's good to actually talk to someone about it and make sure it makes sense to people other than yourself lol
a lot of people seem to like working on their series' solo~ i really want to hear more opinions of authors who work with more than one person cough @reonmeriwethe cough @u@
i personally work alone, but i do want to collaborate a series with somebody i can work well with. i feel like working as a duo helps make a more defined world and such.... i think
It always takes so long to illustrate even short comic chapters, so I quickly get bored waiting, and start a new project with a new artist, who then illustrates a totally new script.
Fast forward to a few months later, I have like 5 chapters from 5 different projects, getting completed, in the meantime I have made about 5 new scripts.
I think my favourite part of working with artists, is that whatever crazy idea I have in my head, I can just go ahead and do it, because as long as I have ideas and artists, I can just keep working.
The worst part of working with artists, is that it's out of my control if they decide to drop the series. It's why I often do 9-Chapter seasons where everything is pre-drawn. Otherwise I get instances where after Chapter 2 no new updates come out, and there's nothing I can do about it.
i havent any collaborators... and i have to work too. comics dont feed me at the moment :\
btw, when i can draw, i spend around:
1 day for the script & storyboard.
1 day with the pen.
1 to 10 days to ink.
1 to 3 days to apply tones, lettering and uploading.
each page.
this mean if i want to show 2 or 3 page, i can stay in this work process for more than 2 weeks...
