Do you find that updating novels is vastly different? I imagine it being easier in some respects, but harder in others. For example, rather than spending time making sure the artwork has the correct anatomy, color theory, no tangent lines, etc, you instead need to focus on descriptive writing, proofreading multiple times, and writing way more.
Different from making comics? Certainly. I can't imagine the tedious work artists have to go through to get everything just right because people
In terms of time I suppose that would depend on the writer. I'm faster some days than others. There are days when I'm trying to write a certain scene or express emotion that I just can't find the right words for. Artists gave to literally show that emotion. Or I spend extra time editing cause my typing skills are terrible. So two different beasts in a lot of ways.
With my comic(when its running) I upload once a week. When I'm not working on my comic, I upload whenever I can or feel I need to.
I do once a week in the summers, Monthly on months without long term breaks and Bi-Weekly December and march, this way I can big chunks instead of just one page a week so I can get somewhere with my story. I don't want to be stuck in story-line limbo so I try to stay consistent. I can do around 5 pages a week in summer, 8-10 pages bi-weekly months and around 15-25 pages a month for regular months, so I can do one chapter in about a month.
Side Note: By story-line limbo, I mean being stuck in the same arc for years because of small amounts when it comes to updates. It's a big problem for me and the reason I don't really color.
2-4 updates a week, each update with 1-3 pages... But sometimes, a break happens for like 1-2 weeks...
I update 3 days a week on M-W-F with the occasional bonus day. I've been doing this for almost three years now. I've got a buffer of about a month right now, so I'm on schedule, but that can change if I have to work double shifts at work over multiple days. Can't draw a straight line when I'm exhausted ^_^;; If for some reason my buffer gets eaten up, I still am usually able to keep two pages ahead if I push myself. Working digitally and learning how be more efficient has helped a lot.
I update when I have content (I'm very busy working on to much at once).
Generally when I have a good portion of the Volume done I post it and then get around to the remaining bit a bit later.
i update once a week, two pages in an update.
when on top of my game, i work in weekly batches of five pages, meaning i grow a backlog while updating regularly. maybe when i get enough backlog ill start updating more often, but id rather update the same and slow my production rate to take time for other projects
I have two comics one is weekly, and in a manga style, the other is a comic strip biweekly but the way I make it I can do it pretty fast.
I upload one a week but after 3 weeks of consecutive updates I take a break, whether I need it or not. Helps me keep my sanity while working on the comic lol.
I have a new webcomic and I try and update every thursday, it been working pretty well for me. Hopefully itll become a set in stone schedule after a bit.
I also make my comic in my sparetime, and don't earn a dime (In the two years I've been on Tapas I've earned 4 dollars in total, ads and tips combined). I would also like to upload every week, but as it is now I can't. I'
ll have to do with every other week, which is still up from my previous schedule of once a month.
It depends. For me, since I'm close to finishing my novel, I update everyday until I can get another series finished so I can do the whole 2 stories a week thing
For Project SHaDe, one story beat per week - and a 2-4 week break between chapters.
It sounded difficult to do at first, but it helps when you make a massive buffer of content beforehand - in truth, the majority of the work that is available right now was drawn at the end of last year.
That's a great way to do things, you have the ability to take breaks as well without having inconsistent hiatuses. Smart!
I try to post once a week. I often forget to post, though, so sometimes there'll be a month or two where no content is uploaded. I've started to set reminders on my phone to make sure I don't forget so let's see how that goes >D
Three times a week. It's a gag strip so It's just three or four panels at a time, which makes it manageable. I make sure I have a good month or two's worth of scripts ready to draw, but draw the comics and upload them on a just-in-time basis.
I usually upload twice a week . Normally, Wednesday and Sunday but sometimes I get behind my update times for personal reasons . 
I'm still new to webcomics but I'm going to try once a week. I've built up a buffer which I heard is key so hopefully it works out.
What I've been doing with my recent comic is working on a bunch of pages, building a buffer, even before uploading the comic to tapas. I waited until I had over 15 pages finished before uploading a page a week. Now I can guarantee my readers a consistent schedule!
Biweekly. I'm hoping that with enough consistency people will actually appreciate me... or even notice my work!
Once per week is my dream right now, and I think I'm doing okay so far.
I don't want/need(I think) to post more than that, because I don't want the art quality to suffer/look rushed. My comic is a gag-strip thing, so there's not a real story line as of yet...
If I do a comic with an actual plot, I'll be posting twice a week so the story stays fresh in people's minds.
I gave myself the goal of producing two pages a week. And I schedule 2 pages a week to go live.
As context, I work full time (though I have summers off).
This has made producing 2 pages a week quite difficult, but I gave myself an obscene page buffer (upwards of 20 pages and dwindling). This meant that I could take a few weeks of lower production, or otherwise.
So far it's worked well for me, though it is hard at times.
so far 3 pages once a week. After I finish a chapter I would then take 1-2 week break.(build up buffer).
10+ panels on Wendsday for webtoons; 5 panels on Tappastic Tuesday/Saturday for JUNE
40+ panels a month for my horror comic, whenever I get it done;
Try to do 1 episode for my novels a week, but I fail every so often ^^´
Some of you say you update multiple times a week. How do you have the time to even do that?
Habit. And having a very simple drawing style helps as well. Using blocks of flat colours speeds things up immensely. As does only drawing backgrounds when they are necessary - I believe in the dictum that you only need supply enough information to get the gag to work.
I update both my comics once a week, I avoid unplanned misses by drawing them 4 weeks ahead of schedule.
Once a week, every Choosday~!
No particular reason for why I picked Tuesdays, it just kinda happened to be the first day I posted. XD ;
For my current web novel ELINA, I update 3-4 times a week, depending on how much my day job is killing me. Link below
