lol I get really discouraged when i time myself i try not too. I already know I' m slow i don't need a clock telling me so too haha

For Fedoras and Fangs4 (even though I just started this one) It usually takes 1-4 hours a page so far.

Rooftop Bookshop1... That's coloured so it takes longer... I think it might take anywhere from 4 to eight hours a page depending on how much is happening in the page.

My drawing process for both are different, I think that also accounts for a bit of the time difference going on between series lol.

I'm trying to control my time for doing comics (but sometimes I don't finish it in time or I get distracted).

Usually it takes (per page):

6/8 hours for The Sky Travelers5 (storyboard, sketch, lineart, toning);
2/4 hours for Team Trouble2 (sketch, lineart, coloring/shading);

Depending on the type of shots I choose to include in my page (like background-heavy, or character-heavy), it can take me between 1 and 2 days. My comic3 is full-color digital paintings.

Condensed time:
Sketch pass - depends on the point in the story, but on average about 1 hour.
Per-panel - minimum 15 minutes, with an average of 45 minutes.
Per-page (8-10 panels) - 5 hours.
fully illustrated background panel - 1 to 4 hours.

I get distracted, and I also have a part time job, so I tend to stretch out my work time to fill 2 weeks (unfortunately). If I were to shut out every distraction on my day off, I could probably finish a fully illustrated page in 5 to 6 hours.

Going straight through, for my other comic 20 hours or so, depending on page complexity. For Void, 30 - 40 hours.

I'm extremely slow.

About 5 hours...10 minute sketch, 1 hour of inking, 3-4 hours of manga studio-ing to add tones and clean up the line art.

-ORANGE

1 hour of sketch
2 hours in lineart
6 hours of pain and hell with colouring and backgrounds
2 hours with dialogues

:'D

Runewriters3 takes 10-15 hours per page, depending on what's going on in the page! ITS A LABOUR OF LOVE. Back when I did TNH, my old journal comic, a page consistently took 5 hours to make, from rough idea to finished comic.

In the thread from a few months ago2, it seemed like 6-10 hours per page is a lot more common than people realised!

I think my time currently is 5-8 hours for a page depending on the complexity. This, of course, does not count the time where I get distracted during the work process.XD

It really depends on the page. Sometimes there is just one panel that will take me forever. Or more like, I will always put off working on it because I need "to be in the right mind set" and prepared to tackle something a little more complicated, and then I keep procrastinating. So it can even take me a couple of days. But usually I'd say around 3 or 4 hours. I only do black&white with screen tones though.

bout 30 mins to an hour. Really depends on the scene, if its a page with a lot of dialogue than it would be easier to draw however speech bubbles add more work. Action scenes are easier because they require no photoshop speech bubbles.

When I took a class, ages ago when I was very young -- it was what got me into comics and sequential art in general -- we were studying the book How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. The original one, the good one. Our instructor, named Anthony Spallini I want to say (whatever happened to him? I hope he had a good life), told us that a panel might take upwards of an hour to complete. In those days, it really did usually take an hour.

I don't do color comics, so let me just say that before I get into my time figures, but nowadays we of course have great things like Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint to make comic production much, much easier and more streamlined. These days, it takes a couple of hours at most for me to finish the visuals of a page, most of the time, unless it's an especially complicated page. There are so many brushes and tools and tones that can take care of something in less than 30 seconds what used to take the better part of an hour! And every day, I'm happier that I made the leap from traditional with digital finishing to fully digital.

Dialogue actually takes me a while usually, because I want it to sound organic and come from an organic place. I usually will do all the visuals of a chapter and then go back and write the dialogue all at once, so that it sounds natural and is consistent. But that's different to how some people work, and many enjoy having a script from the start. I just can't work like that if I'm doing something I want to have passion about, though.

Depends on the content of the page - more panels with more people+complicated environments mean more time, fewer panels with less complicated stuff means less time, but once I'm past the thumbnails, it breaks down something like this for Grassblades3:

Sketch - 1-2 hours
Ink - 1-2.5 hours
Colours - 2-4 hours.

So, a page takes me somewhere between 4 and 8 hours to complete, sketch to finish. Grassblades is full colour, and I hand-draw everything except for the dialogue-lettering. Black and white pages take a little less time, usually, so somewhere between 3-5.

30 minutes for a page but if its a single panel for a page I can do it under 5-10 minutes
I make at least 15 pages in three days cuz of my studies then I finish inking within 3 days to make an episode/chapter a week for my comic2
