I personally don't work on it everyday but whenever i feel i want to , i want to enjoy the whole proccess and not to push myself into it.
- It really depends how much I've got to do for college. On some days I have no time for my comic, on ohter days I can spend 6 to 8 hours on it. Can spend, I procastiante a lot!
I'd say per week I spend about 8 hours on my comic. It's been probably less the past month and now I actually have more time than that, but that should be the average. - I started drawing comics in 2015, but I started calling it a hobby in Spring 2016 with this series.
However, it still wasn't a serious thing for me until I started my current series in October 2016, where I tried out what kind of comics I want to make, just to end up sticking to my main cast from the first series xD
I set myself a goal of two pages per week. They take around 6/8 hours to be done; the rest of my drawing time (from 1 to 4 hours a day) usually go for other projects.
I decided for a very easy style for DAWN OF THE DAD11 because I wanted to be able to keep on deadlines without worrying too much. I really prefer to work slowly and enjoy what I'm doing, rather than spend a bunch of hours on each page
- Honestly, I can care less about the time I spent on making comics. It's like paying attention to the amount of hours people play video games. They don't really express to people "I've spend 17 hours playing street fighter" or something like. They enjoy it for the love of the craft.
To answer the question, when I was making chapter 1 of Osca4 . I'd spent almost the entire day to do a page. But, taking short breaks in intervals. Spent five hours on the comic & watch a new episode of my favorite show for 30mins and get back into the project.
The more you practice the faster you become. I find myself still doing long hours of my comic--even when I'm developing speed.
- I started 3 years ago..
First Page:
Whenever I can really with work and school comic making is just a hobby the writing is what takes me a while, but i've been drawing for close to 10 years i think i don't know lol don't really pay attention to it anymore I just do it
Doing a daily comic with about 5 pages uploaded daily, I do roughly 4 hours/day or between 25-30 hours/week.
I don't do comics, but I write.
I've been writing for about four years now, and I try to write every day. The only way to get better is to practice, so that's my goal. I do want to start drawing, though, and I plan to do that soon.
The work is split between me and the writer, so maybe not as long as it could take. Haha, I spend about 5-8 hours on the lineart and shading. Colors and letters are done by Terri, which probably takes her another 5 hours or so. So I think total hours is around 10-13 hours per page?
I spend about 30 to 40 hours a week divided between scrioting, storyboarding and penciling. I usually ink only after all my pencils are done.
It depends on the time of the year.During the school year, I have less time, so I try to put in around 1-2 hours a day. During the summer, I'm putting 3 hours a day.
When I first making comics in grade. 8 (about 7 years ago) I used to put in 2-3 hours on weekdays and often 8 hours on weekends. While, it sounds like I was more productive when I was younger, I think a schedule with fewer hours of comic-ing per day is more helpful because I have more time to develop my art otherwise (which still helps my comic anyways XD)
Before my new job about 8 hours a day. Now I'm lucky to get 2-3 hours on some days.
I've been doing this for almost three years
That's pretty cool, the hard work shows, the art is beautiful 
If any consolation, I feel the same way sometimes
Thanks everyone who responded, I feel better knowing alot of creators are in the same boat with the many hours put into the comics
depending on how many panels there are in a page, I have worked upwards to 10 hours on a single page. Also, I do multiple pages a week (Usually one every other day to one every four days) And the reason they take so long, is shading. Shading is my worst nightmare, and it always has been. Every art stream I do I complain about it lol, but I have only been doing this for about six or seven months, so, maybe with more experience I'll get better and faster at it. As for the page that took me the longest... Any page with this new character that I've been simply calling "Shadow" since he's the main character's shadow. So, these pages: https://tapas.io/episode/73798010
Depending on my work schedule, hours per day on the comic can range from two to twelve. Days off are usually completely dedicated to some part of Legio Arcana
Since starting it a few years ago, there's probably only been about week where it was not worked on in some capacity
I have spend about two hours on each page, I usually set up a timer that counts down from two hours.
I usually pause it when I'm being ADD or doing something else.
I try to spend 2 hours a day at least dedicated to the comic, even I'm not drawing.
So CRUD6 gets at least 10 hours a week of love and attention.
(The timer on a separate screen REALLY helps though.)
I'm bad at scheduling and have no sense of time, so saying preciesly how much time I use a week on comic making is a though one.
Short answer is whenever I have time and energy for it.
Long answer is, that I try to work on it at least two days a week, but sitting down and working efficiently is a bit thought, and I go back and forth drawing, watching youtube, drawing, read up on fora, etc. all day, so how many hours I draw is hard to say.
I've starting up at a new place for my internship tomorrow also, and they are very accepting around my comc and say I should use work hours on it, so hopefully I will get more organised in the future
A rough hour guess would be about 4-8 hours a week though.
I know your icon and it is bugging me cause I know I know you but for the life of me cannot remember how. XD
I forgot to add that while I spend that many hours per week, I rarely finish a page a week. Rather I do pages in bunches. I will do like half a chapter (about 12 pages or so) at a time.
So I will take a week and do all pencils.
Then take two weeks and do inks.
Than maybe another two weeks to do screentones.
Another week or two for editing and text.
So maybe a month and a half / 6 weeks for a dozen pages. It works out to about 2 pages a week when divided out, but I put a lot of detail into my comics. I also work by hand on paper working traditional methods and it does add up the time. xnx I added a page for reference.
