How long does it take you to finish one comic page?(on average)

[sainity]

It takes me about 6 hours of active work to finish one page of Starbird Island, no pauses. I recorded one of my drawing sessions so that's how I know.

[J.Z.Castillo]

10-12 hours is my average

[AmysGames]

For a full-color page, I usually draw it over the course of about three days, taking frequent breaks for health and sanity reasons. I can do it in one day if I really sit down and focus, but I'm never happy about it, lol.

[heterodont]

Single page? 7-9 hours on a good day. That includes lining, coloring, and shading.

Often times I just do all the lines for 5 pages then go back and color them which seemingly cuts the time I spend on a page down, but I still take around 4 hours to color completely.

[punkarsenic]

uhhhh... four hours? getting longer and longer these days as i pay more attention to improving but roughly that

[solhawthorne]

A single page for me from sketch to finishing touches takes anywhere from 4-6 hours. It usually takes longer in reality though because I get distracted, so 7-8 hours is about right.

[Houndstooth]

for Laid in Lavender, it's roughly 4-5 hours from thumbnail - finished... i'm not sure how long it took me to panel the pages, but thumbnails are very quick.

[niinasalmelin]

For me it's usually from 4-8 hours counting in sketching, watercolors, editing and lettering.

[Shanny8]

About 2 days.

4-6 hours to pencil depending on the detail versus how tight I pencil. 6-8 hours to ink- a lot of the details that I leave out in the pencil stage is because I will render it in the inking stage. 6-10 hours to color pending on the complexity & detail of the page plus effects...coloring is the most time consuming of all my art page chores. 2 hrs or less lettering; I usually know what I want in terms of lettering & sound FX(if any SFX on the page), so this part of the process goes pretty quickly.

[SynergyEclipse]

For my comic, it takes 1-2 hours to sketch a page on paper, and the digital process of vectoring it often takes 8-12 hours. A few of the most difficult pages took an estimated 15 hours to vector. The time to add the finishing touches after exporting it can range from a few minutes to another hour.

[SpiritualBacon]

For me it can take weeks, but I only do strips and most of that time the comic sits on my computer untouched until I have a sudden burst of motivation then I finish it in a couple hours. So in reality It takes me a few hours not counting me being lazy

[NickRowler]

6 to 8 hours...I think. I never timed myself.
A complex background increases that by about an hour or 2 (sometimes even 4).
If I am drawing a page with 3 panels instead of the usual 6, decreases that by an hour or 2.

Panels with just one character in a medium shot are the quickest to draw. If a page has several of those, they usually are done faster. The more character per panel, the longer it takes. Children are faster to draw than the adults.

[Zetsubonii]

I normally take roughly around 3-9 hours depending on the complexity as well as it being spread over my free times when I actually feel like drawing (Been a hectic month). My recent page for Jim's Days took roughly a week to make, with roughly 6 hours of work on it because of scheduling issues.

[Ensyis]

Usually I take around 4-10 hours per page depending on the difficulty and detail and... current mood
There are days I just sprint through the pages and others I can barely do a single line concentrated.

[zkoyllar]

I used to be faster with the comic pages, but since I started adding more details until I'm happy with my results, one page usually takes me around 7 hours.
I found out that working pages in pairs makes it a lot faster, I finish two pages in around 10 hours.
Also, I kind of work faster while streaming, because I don't have other distractions like facebook or other social media. (For example, this is the lastest streaming, around 2 hours to sketches and lineart )

[kyupol]

About a couple of hours if black and white and 3 to 4 hrs if colored

[Wumbl]

Well I have a four panel humour comic which normally only takes an hour or two...
but when I'm doing full colour pages I can spend 5-8 hours for each... depending on the complexity of the frames.

[rmdooley]

From start to finish, an average of thirteen hours

I listen to a lot of audibooks. A lot

[saerel]

Also an average of 12 hours or so for me. I must be the only person who spends more time on sketching than the rest.. I always thumbnailing and sketching the most difficult. Once things are in place, it goes faster.

Exactly the same I counted, on average I do a page of Radiant in 12 and a half hour ( the longuest has been 14 hours and the shortest 9 hours = thumbnail + 2 pass of sketch + line+ color
I made a timelapse of one panel that took me 2 hours to do ( line and color ) see here
I hope it helps !
