I don't know how many panels are in that strip of yours, but assuming it's more than 5, then taking 7-10 hours is perfectly normal.

I work in standard print-format pages for my comic. My chapters are usually between 25-30 of those pages long, and I take between 8-10 hours per page, usually. So drawing an entire chapter takes between 270-300 hours.

my chapters are usually about 20-30 6-panel pages long, and take me like... a month? technically it should take me 15 days, because i can do two a day, but college and executive dysfunction and life get in the way. i think in total i probably spend about 60-90 hours on it.

Chapter 1 of my comic took 3-4 months to finish, and i've been working on chapter 2 since july of last year :'v you work pretty fast actually

7-10 hours seems perfectly normal. I work on mine at entire chunks at a time. So around 30 pages a t once. Bewteen sketching, paneling, editing, penning and doing tones, it can take about 7-8 weeks. assuming I put in around and average of 30 hours of work a week, it come to about 210-240 hours. I would love to put more in but I have a job so it cant be helped. but the am out of time for your strip seems about right. Now I work in black and white so it might be different with color, but still your hours seem about right

my chapter is 35 pages long, at A5 size. I work on the script and thumbnails separately so I'm not sure how much time went into that, but I'd typically thumbnail two or three pages each day before moving onto other commitments.
For the actual pages, I work in pages of 3-8 pages (so a whole scene has lineart before i colour anything, it all has colour before i shade etc). In October-November I was completing each batch within 10-14 days, but since then my health has worsened and I've been in and out of employment so it's taken a lot longer. Still the same amount of hours, I think, but I've been working less regularly.

I read all of this of people working so fast (seriously, MAJOR KUDOS for you guys!) but Cosmic Fish ranges from 42-52 pages and it takes me about 2 days to make a page (be it work or just working on details) at around 8 hours per day.

so it takes me an average of 4-5 months, frustratingly hahaha...

Some days I work faster, it really depends where the story is at or the coloring method I use.

I average three pages a week and my chapters run anywhere from 30-60+ pages, so one chapter takes about 3 months?

I'm around several months per chapter, too =)
Since I'm studying design I can only draw in phases, more when the semester starts because there is not much work to do, less drawing when the semester ends, of course @_q So... 4-5 months is perfectly normal =) I try to make at least one page per week ^^

Ye I'm sure it's normal and yea definitely true when you juggle more than one thing, that's neat tho!

I think I say more as in frustrating because I wish I could work faster JUST because I like the story and would love to reach points sooner than later |"D

@efdvorsky Yes, YES, exactly! _ I know that myself, you WANT to draw the story, you know there are so many awesome parts you just want to draw - but there's so little time! ;_; Frustrating's the right word!

My chapters vary from 20 to 50 A3 pages so alongside studies and my thesis drawing one takes a month or two. I can't wait to graduate (and go to work and have just as little time ha HA)

My chapters range from 34-36 pages, with a new page published per week, maybe 1 or 2 late updates tops. So currently, it takes me roughly 9 months to finish a chapter @u@; I joke that each time I complete a chapter I have birthed a comic baby.

I also do the webtoon format, and each weekly chapter is about 40 panels, and hmmm it takes about 15-25 hours from planning to final touches

I can draw pretty fast usually. So it really depends on how much time I have and how much I have thought through. Can take anywhere from a couple hours to over a day or so.

A single page of RW takes me 10-15 hours to finish. Since I put out one page a week, chapters (around 50 pages) take me approximately 1 year to complete!

a day or months but a week = 1 pg
but I get lucky if I stayed up a bit late to finished it
so 10 hours and 30 mins

My first chapter was 36 pages which took me about 7 months to finish. I penciled/inked/colored/lettered 4 pages every 2-3 weeks, depending on detail.

About 2 years. Hopefully the next one will take less time, lol.

I can create one page per week, that takes 8 to 12 hours and is done after a full time job. I try to keep my chapters around 20 page so it takes about 5 months to get through a whole chapter. It does take a long time! I've been at this for a year, and am getting close to finishing my 3rd chapter! I would say only work as fast as you can handle and still keep your sanity smile
