How Long Does It Take For You To Make Your Comics?

[ingthing]

I have an application on my computer that tracks how much time I spend in my different programs. I basically powered through the first half of episode 1 of Green Carnations in two days and it came out to around 19 hours.

That being said, that didn't factor in the actual storyboarding process because I had to transfer my page by page storyboard into a scroll format, and I still do want to improve the art in my webcomic! I draw pretty fast as it is, but there are definitely improvements I want to be making in the summer when I FINALLY have time to draw whatever I want.

3 days because I first make the pages of the traditional form (pencil and paper), and then I do the line art on the PC and apply the color in PS xD here my comic if you want read ^^ https://tapastic.com/series/SD-Gio-17

It's usually take me a whole day for a page of :Rebirth ;; q ;; (looking at ep1 2 and 3 update) the canvas is usually set at 10,000 height haha. The coloring take the longest time tbh

It takes me around an hour and a half to finish a comic. But then again, I'm as lazy as it gets
I respect those that are able to sit through multiple hours for one page(even panel), I honestly can't focus that long on 1 thing alone.

I take an hour and a half to finish one colored panel. Sometimes, two hours if I spend too much on backgrounds~

For a one-pager (because I make my comic by the page), it takes about one day for me to make it. Lately, I've been spacing it out so that I finish two pages in a week (I don't want to fizz out making pages too often!). It probably takes me so long because:
1) I haven't figured out any faster techniques for making pages
2) I'm still practicing (after a year) with my comic page making skills! ^U^/

for me i don't finish one page per day, 1 chapter contains about 26 pages and it's done in about a month and ten days. i want to see if i could finish 1 chapter in a week in the future.

It takes me one month to finish one page of my comic unless magically I have a lot of time and motivation to draw.

The answer to your question is ALL the time. All of it.

[NickRowler]

It takes me about two days to make each page for Crow's Worth. Three days if I am busy or tired.

I originally was making one page a day but it got overwhelming so I split the work into 2 days. My process then shifted to sketching and line one day with "coloring" and shading being done the next day. I later figured out that if I sketched several pages in one sitting and finished them the following days of the week, I could get more pages done in the week.

It takes me about 2-3 days to make one page for Neon Rabbit, I mainly work on it after work and thus that time estimate is spread out over one week. Though my time could be better if I had a better program, I would love to go to 2 updates a week

[idamessygirl]

3-6 hours spread over a week. ^__^ I make sure my time is spread out over a week. Since I'm still in school and such!

I try to pencil and ink 1-2 pages a day (6 hours a page). For crazy detailed pages, tho, it sometimes turns to a page every two days (18 hours a page). Something like this:

[HollyBrown]

Well for me, I don't measure time per day, but pages per week.
I do 10 pages a week, so it takes anywhere between 1-3 hours per page?
Honestly it doesnt matter how long it takes, what matters is the art.

[spadesart]

I spend anywhere from 2-4 days on a page of my comic SPIRE, usually ends up on the longer end because I get so sidetracked while drawing it. The 2 day span usually happens when I really sit down and work. More often it ends up on 3 days for two pages since my updates are two pages every friday. I'm not sure how long it takes when it comes to panels but the total time on it I'd place anywhere between 30 minutues-an hour.

[kukkiia]

It really depends! The only comic I publish has a pretty simple design, so I spend around 2-3 hours making each page (some times more, some times less... It really depends on what the page is featuring!) but if I was to make a comic with a more complex art it would probably take way more. Around 5 hours, maybe? But thats just me!
Hope this helps! <3

Pages usually take about 3 day give or take but only because i take breaks and such. If i were to work straight through it'd take about 24 hours. C:

[sorrelma]

not sure exactly how long i spend on each page since i do them in batches of 3 - 6 but i would estimate an average 2 - 3 hours each. this is pretty reasonable for me! i do weekly updates of 2 - 5 pages

this is my most recent page

i have some older pages that took 8 - 10 hours because they had so many shading layers, such detailed lineart, etc, but honestly my current work looks better + is much more maneagable

It varies wildly; the day job can kinda kneecap my productivity depending on how exhausted I am at the end of the day. Uninterrupted, if I dont try to do anything New or particularly Fancy, about two hours to pencil and ink and another two to color.
