I'm pretty awful at coloring and it takes me forever compared to grey scale. for Los Esmeraldas4 I only color the covers. the rest is screentone. but I have one that I'm in the making of that is a mix of both screentone and color so thats gonna be time consuming. and one more that i'm undecided....but leaning towards screentones. coloring isn't my least favortie part but I do wish there was a button that said "make this pretty" in clip studio or photoshop
its takes a life time, but dear GOD is it rewarding. I spend 50% of the time colouring Silversong6
Scripting is good,
Thumbnailing is a headache.
Sketches is ok
ink work either inspires me or I loathe it
Colouring .... I look forward to. Time to pull out the big guns and blow everyone away
While I'm sure Time Gate would be a lot more eye-catching with color, Time Gate is also very, very long. It takes me long enough to screentone the damn things, coloring the pages would mean I wouldn't get Reaper done well into my late 20's (and it's only the first book).
Some day I'd like to do a full color comic, but that's when I find the time. For now, I just do a color page every now and then in Time Gate (along with colored chapter covers if I like them enough to color them lol)
However, while screentoning bugs the hell out of me and I hate doing it, it definitely makes my pages look a lot better. Comparison below:
Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort, but it's time and effort that pays off. And if color works for your comic and it allows you to produce the best pages to your readers, then - unless your health is at risk because of it or you need to beat a tough deadline like I am, literally my deadline is death lol - it should be worth the extra time to color. That being said, color can be done in a variety of ways, some that can shorten the process, some that can lengthen it - full on shading and lighting, cell-shading, flat colors only, etc.
well, i hate lineart so much that i gave up doing it, but as a consequence I have to color. lineless is sometimes a pain and it takes forever but wouldn't go back for anything. I really really hate doing lineart.
A while ago on Tumblr I posted how I feel on every part of making a comic page. XP

Eyy my comics in the 80s also, though i've yet to post it! I had a similar thought about drawing from b&w zines and the like, but since it's in Miami and I feel like it's a character of its own I had to do it in some kind of color, all the neon and pastels everywhere. Martyr Youth's lookin' good though, I subbed!
Weh, I'm okay with coloring but it's not my favorite part of comicking. Just the time I have to put into it, I'd rather use for something else but I decided to do Demon House in color mostly because I wanted to practice my color theory, and I think it's helped A LOT. For my other series I stuck with gray-scale/black and white because they're more serious in tone and I think colorless things just have that gravitas that lends to the mood.
Coloring is probably one of my favorite parts 
I just feel like my comic doesn't look complete without the coloring, and not just because my lineart by itself is kinda meh and probably one of my least fave parts - it's a pain to get it to look right.
Lemongrass1 has been in full colour since the start, and I have no regrets. I don't really hate or love the process. Colouring is sometimes relaxing, and other times tedious, depending on how I feel and exactly what I have to colour. It takes more time than the rest of the process put together, but my comic wouldn't be the same without it.
I like coloring, but i obsess over little details and it can be pretty time consuming. I can't leave it with flat colors, it eats at me if i do. Usually i alternate the processes, i line a character, then i color, so i won't have to line everything and then color everything, which can get a little too repetitive i suppose.
Monochrome is fine too, but i feel colors really help transmit certain emotions or states. The lack of color will have a greater impact at a certain point, if the rest is colored.
My series is black and white, but I love colouring bonus pages or first page for each chapter. It gives more life to the characters, I guess c:
(but I might like it because I'm doing it only from time to time CX)
Nah, I love colouring. Used to be a pro at it back when it didn't practically require a loan to buy copic markers.
While it can be repetitive, there are a few differences depending on what kind of comic you have. Story comics for example can have different moods, locations, and time frames, which prompts you to change your pallet to fit those new things. It's a great way to experiment with shading techniques, and colour choices that you wouldn't work with otherwise. You can even experiment with new mediums, such as mixing markers with colour paper, using combinations of different tools to get interesting results.
I feel that some comics also require colour in them to get the proper feel for the scene. Normally I prefer working with b&w and have a colourless comic off-site, but I decided to make 'Void'(Warning: Blood, violence, nudity) fullcolour because there will be some scenes in the comic that won't translate well without it. Sure, the process can be a pain, especially when you have a bunch of little things to colour. But the results are great!... sometimes.
I love colouring, I am pretty new to rendering and can't believe some of the effects I've achieved by just experimenting. I've also worked on omitting heavy shadowing from my inks and filling them in with colours, so I think if you do things that way you're winning time on heavy inks and losing it back with the colours. Well, that's my experience anyway.
by the time i get to coloring i am happy to do it, because that means the hardest parts (drawing and lineart) are already over :]
one thing i do hate is coloring in digital flats. it is so repetitive and draining that i got completely fed up with it and switched to watercolor paints, which at least requires me to be intuitive
I quit coloring my comic because I felt that way. Did it hurt my comic? Not really. Sure, I haven't gotten as much attention as I did when I uploaded nearly 50 colored pages in one go. But nobody complained, nor even commented when I moved from colors to greytones.
Without colors I can focus on other things, like character design. I'm forced to make each character different in shape and form, since now I can't just give everyone different hair colors and call them unique.
Sometimes I go back an forth if I should just stop coloring, but I actually like coloring now. It was a huge hassle in the beginning but now I think my coloring has gotten much better and improves my comic. I've done some black and white stuff before, but the my main comics just feel incomplete without color. I don't blame anyone for quitting colors, though. It is a long process for a basically free webcomic.
Honestly if there's one thing I wish someone else would do, it's the inking. Coloring takes longer, but ink feels longer to me. And I don't think my inking is up to par with my pencils or colors.
i dont mind if comics are in color or not (honestly i think if u color your entire comic you deserve a medal) and i think it comes from growing up on manga instead of western comics? grayscale doesnt really take anything away from it for me as a reader, but it does make seeing everything in color more special. it feels like a treat when you get an insert or a page in color!!
as for drawing i hate coloring no matter what. i even hate coloring in grayscale. im just impatient 
I actually like adding colors because I can use them to convey different emotions in the story. For example if my subject matter is really dark and negative I like making the majority of the page grayscale with hints of bold colors like deep reds On the other hand, when my page is more positive I tend to go full blown color. It makes it more fun thinking about how I can symbolize different emotions behind the colors and tie them in. It becomes a compliment to the meaning of the story I'm telling and less like a chore.
