Well, I used to update twice a week and it only took me a few hours to do each page of my simple b+w comic (which updated for 2 years and only paused twice) ...and then the world went sideways and I got quarantined for...however many months it's been and now it takes me...I want to say I've been on haitus for 3 weeks now and I have no idea when I'll be able to go back to it. Probably will be another few weeks. I got burnt out real good, so I feel you on the burn out. When it hits, it HITS.
Same it takes me 1-2 days to draw a single page depending on the complexity. Mostly because I like my comics colored. If it's simple, I can draw it in one day. I spend 3-4 hours a day on my comics (mostly 4-5 hours a day lately during quarantine). Thus, I make 2-3 pages a week and 8-10 pages a month (most I did was 12 on April).
It takes me a few days to finish a page. I normally do two pages per episode to have the story be fluid, one page if there is currently no story, one to two pages for something funny. If I get busy or procrastinate, then only one page is uploaded on time, or late; if I'm burnt out, then I notify my subscribers ahead of time that there isn't going to be a scheduled update. I have been drawing this comic since this April, so three months. I don't really know how many pages I make per month . Though I have to say, I can do this fairly consistently
A lot of it depends on what style I'm working in and how detailed the pages are. I did a comic last year where I scripted, penciled, inked, colored, and lettered a 36-page comic in 11 days, and averaged out to about 3 hours a page. With my current comic, it's probably more like 8-10 hours per page, because everything is a lot more detailed and complex, but it's hard to say exactly how long I spend on each individual page since I work on it in batches of several pages simultaneously.
Interestingly enough, I've found that pages take a lot less time than strips. So I recently wrote and drew a 22 page comic for the Webtoons competition in three weeks (avg 6.5 frames a page), while simultaneously keeping up on my main strip comic(which runs generally 12 to 24 frames per week). Different processes used for each, but there's something about doing a page at a time that was really really fast. I was inking three or four pages a day. My takeaway? It's worthwhile experimenting with process. I learned a lot of shortcuts.
Mine is a scrolling type and the length varies, but generally it takes me one week per episode.
I would say they range 20-30 panels, and I don't have a lot of color or detail to add.
It only takes me about 2 hours to make a page since I’m doing my comic line less but I try to take breaks so what should take 2 hours is postponed until a few days later because of life or just me being lazy. I try to pump out updates within a week and at least 3 pages at a time. I’m only on page 8 right now so I can’t speak though.
It takes me a long time :') To do one chapter (~15-16 panels), I sketch for maybe 30-40 min (super messy). I spread inking over like 2-3 days (my least favorite part), and coloring takes another ~2-3 days. I've been keeping up with once a week updates but my buffer runs out next week so I might need to switch to once every other week
My comics are in the scrolling format. It typically takes me two weeks do a fully colored, with actual backgrounds, 40-50 panel episode. Three weeks if it's 60 or more. I think it takes me a while because I take fairly long breaks in between drawing the comic.
I mean, I don't want my wrist to break just yet. I've still got a lot of comic-making in me, lmao.
You can ask me, "why not make the episodes shorter so you can pump them out faster?" I like comics that are infrequently updated but produce longer episodes more than ones that update faster but with short episodes, and so that's what I make, haha.
Well, it really depends on the day and how I feel. Generally I start the week by writing the script, then I start sketching. After drawing 10 or so sketches, I usually start setting up the panelling to decide where the stuff should go.
Once I'm done with it, I start the colouring and inking phase, in wich I draw the lineart and put the screentones. Finally, I return on the panelling, where I put all the drawings in the pre-established order and I put the various speech bubbles, along with speed lines, onomatopeia and text dialogue.
That's basically the whole procedure and it takes me a a week or so!
I haven't really timed myself but it seems to be taking me between three and four days if I get my head down to it to pencil, ink, flat, render, and letter a page.
I really do worry that it is too long and that this long-form project I have embarked on will take many many years.
I want to get faster.
I've started drawing this in April, not long after the start of lockdown but so far only have three completed pages done. I have not been working on it consistently.
