What parts of your comic work would you be willing to pass of to assistants if given the chance?

[Lady_T_Musings]

Pretty much the same. Making my comic is such a personal thing, and I really love doing it, buttttttt I'd totally pass flat coloring off to an assistant lol. They can deal with all my line art caps and fill in them bases so I can do the fun parts lol.

Take the editing too pls, Oh Mai Gawd, so much editing hahahaha!

If anything down the line when I finish and a assistant wanted to do a side story or continue off with my characters with a after story I'm fine with that. I'll just be a overseer like kishimoto is with Boruto

[Pandastrophic]

Over the past few months i hired an assistant for the base colors and honestly i wish i had done this sooner! Base colors are the most tedious part for me, i honestly love coloring and shading but i always find i get so bored doing the base colors and I'm just looking forward to the shading part. Hiring an assistant to help with that has been great, I feel like my lineart and shading have gotten better since because I'm able to spend more time on them as I don't have to rush to meet deadlines.

If I could hand over another part it would be backgrounds, I'm okay with what i managed to do with the backgrounds in my comic, I use photos i take and 3D but i wish i could put more detail into them, this includes drawing buildings, houses, cars, stuff like that.

Coloring! Absolutely the coloring! It is so time consuming!

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

I'd never hand over thumbnailing (where I'm deciding what the scene will look like), linework (because if someone else does it, it won't look like MY art), or coloring (see again, won't look like my art if I don't do it... and I can't have someone else flat with markers, unfortunately!), but I WOULD theoretically let someone else ink (and especially re-ink) if they have a style of inkwork similar to how I do mine.

Scanning and editing I'd gladly hand off, though. PLEASE let someone else deal with scanning, color-correcting, cleaning up the gutters and margins, fixing small errors, and putting in the text! This process does not spark joy!!

Advertising and making ad graphics.

I am fine drawing the comic, the whole process is enjoyable for me, but advertising is a pain in the ass. Absolutely hate it, and I'm super bad at making ads, can never figure out what to show that would be appealing, give an idea of the story AND give enough room for the title and all that jazz.

[Awesomeness_Studios]

I'd keep scripting and thumbnailing to myself at least.

If someone can mimic my art style perfectly, they can do the line art.

I'm willing to be flexible on getting a colorist as long as they are really really good.

Now, what I really could use is a social media assistant

[bronte448]

I'd have someone else shade because they'd probably do a better job than me

[KGFantasy]

Lineart & Advertising

[Kirara312]

Shading, text/speech bubble placement and advertising

[Kann]

Advertising or lettering. I'm fine with doing everything else by myself. xD

[AutumnAdmiral]

Just advertising and promotion. I enjoy all the parts of making pages besides promoting them lol.

[TheLemmaLlama]

Honestly, all of it, as long as they won't be offended if I made edits at each stage to better fit my vision ^^; My main issue with outsourcing is less that I'm particularly attached to any parts of the process of creation, and more that I'm a total control freak and would probably be a nightmare to work under :'D

That, and my process isn't that cut and dry; I colour everything in one go without separating it into flats + shading, and I often go back and tweak my inking midway because I forgot something Imagine my assistant being halfway through colouring and I'm like WAIT STOP, just gonna quickly fix this part of the inking that you've spent 30 minutes colouring ... okay, continue :]

[Swamp]

Inking would be my #1. I’m too sloppy for it, and my hands give out really fast. I mean, I’d love to just do scripts and thumbnails, but inks would be divine.

[XiuLyn_12]

Dang, I guess everyone hates flatting haha But honestly same.
Flat color and lineart took the longest in my case!
But honestly, I need an assistant to do flat colors and determine panels' position and sizes.

[ahogemon]

I would need one or two 3d artists to build 3d environments (backgrounds) and render them for me, I can do it alone but takes so much time and stressful. Maybe if I have funds someday will hire 3d artists as assistants. 3d backgrounds example:

[smokesalty]

Oh yup, 3D backgrounds are super time consuming, making them for my comic took FOREVER. I'm guessing hiring someone to model them isn't cheap at all.

Your models look great! If you don't mind, I was wondering what your process for making the city buildings was? I struggle to make city scapes because of how large/detailed they are

[ahogemon]

Those models I bought from blender market. It's very time consuming to create each of them of course. Though the models are for my personal use. Yeah, hiring a 3d artist for making 3d backgrounds will be expensive especially to build a complex scene with high details. But the nice thing is we can reuse, point the camera at any angle we desire, and then hit render.

Flats colours

Every other part of my work is really more suited to me and my art style, that being sketches, lineart, shading, dialogue etc. But flat colours is something everybody can do who.

[faisalhussein394]

I was thinking the same thing, mostly for the background but as time goes by I change my mind.

I am still practicing the background and even if there are some panels I don't like doing, I still do it because what is important to me as storytelling is the expression of the characters and I enjoy drawing the character's face.

So yeah, I may not have an assistant for my comic for a very long time.
