How many pages do you do per day?

[lil-sea-salt]

usually 1.

3 is really impressive. You must be a really experienced artist then.

I usually manage 2-3... 4 if I work overdrive. Of course, not all pages are the same length, so I would say more like... 8 panels, 12 on overdrive.

I have a full time job and my comic is in full colour so it takes a few days to finish a page tbh

This really depends since I started to work more with panels than with pages. I do long strips now that could count for 1-3 pages in one go.

Page-wise, I can do 1-2 in one day, depending on how detailed it is. If it's simple details, 2 pages in one day. If it's heavy on details, it's one page in 2 days, tops.

Panel-wise, I can bank out 17 in a day, not including speech bubbles. Again, depending on how detailed.
If it's simple, 17 and up. Heavy on details? Around 6-9.

Goodness you people work fast lol

My pages take me ages, so I'm lucky if I get 1 done every 4-5 days.

[Jenny-Toons]

Eyyy, progress is progress!

I meant more on the lines of having a storyboard done days before, scanning it and drawing the actual page cleanly in photoshop.

Edit: just illustration mind you. I take another day to insert dialogue.

Heh, this topic actually inspired me to use my free day and try how many pages I can actually do in one day. My first post was more of an estimate. I managed to do one page completely (sketches, lineart, watercolor, digital editing) and another half one (sketches, lineart, 1/3 of the background color). After 9 hours my hand started to cramp up, but I say it was worth it. Now I know that one page takes about 6 hours, which is good for planning ahead ^^

But to be honest, working concentrated like this was a little exhausting. I enjoy drawing, but I enjoy it more if I can do it in four hour intervals

I'm glad my question inspired you to take up a challange.
you use water color? that must take a lot more work but sounds real fun.

yeah, it's probably better to take breaks between hours. 9 hours straight sounds pretty tiresome.

[LittleMissDevil]

Working with watercolor is a ton of fun, but it can get frustrating. ^^ Ctrl + Z is greatly missed and the waiting for it to dry can be a pain, if you just wanna get a move on. But on the other hand applying the color to the paper has such a unique feel and flow to it and learning how the colors can flow over into each other is also just super fun to mess around with. It's harder to control than digital art, but that's part of the fun

It's so hard to think about taking breaks, when you're in "the zone" But I didn't have my hand on the pen for 9 hours straight. As I said... I did wait for the paint to dry

Two to three a day is crazy! Gods. I set my goals for 2 pages a week! And that's a goal! I've been failing for a while now at that :s I seem to be able to do only one a week comfortably. Though, as some others have said already, I also work full time @_@

[ramiek]

4 pages a week on a good week. only 2 if it was a complicated composition.

[katyschifferer]

Well, I managed to finish two pages today? But they were easy ones and I wasn't that busy with outside life. And it's summer, so no school yet, heheh.

[scythe]

Per day? Zero.

Obviously.

[NDmangaka]

oooooohhhhhh ok that makes more sense

[Merle]

I usually work my regular job and do everything in badges.
I once did the Vincent- Challenge and dedicated one whole day to comic pages. From sketch to full colour & lettering, I got 33 panels done (longformat); which is probalpy about 5 - 6 pages.
I gotta do that again sometime; I´ve gotten a lot faster since then haha.

[cyglyce]

If I had no errands 2-3 pages, usually colored.

[danitasibert]

the norm is one if its a good day then two, I'm slow but i blame work and other things for that!
but i'm working on getting my procrastination/motivation under control.

[TadxSarah]

We have 10 webtoons and we usually do two of them a day by rotating them.

We do about 10 to 12 panels per episode so that's 20 to 24 panels in a day and we count 2 big panels as a page.

So about 10 to 12 pages a day.

[nelaukface]

one page a week, cause if I do any more I'll burn out lol
