Working as an artist

[Rin_sugarawa]

How many hours do you spend on drawing and making comic per day? It takes me 20 minutes on a panel and 6 to 8 hours a day to finish 6 pages ( one page contains 2 to 3 panels ). I hear that an artist who works for line webtoon or tapas has to finish 70 panels in 5 days, which is totally insane. So I want to know about you guy, how many hours you spend on drawing comic per day? This example is one of my comic page, which I spend nearly 1 hours drawingUploading...

I spent about 6-7 hours drawing on work days, right after I came from my 8 hour day job , and about 12 hours on weekends. it took abot 1-3 hours to a panel depending if it also has background it may take more time. I always work with 5 "pages" -as much as my pc can handle - which consists of 5-10 panels. So I mosty make 5-10 panels on workdays and 10-15 on weeekdays .I usually spend one or two evenings making storyboard and blocking out text for the whole episode or the couple of episodes and als ler my hands rest at this time . so after that I can focus on drawing entirely.
I sleep 6 hours every day...

My comic has about 4-7 panels per page and it takes around 6-8 hours to finish a page, sometimes even more.

I don't think your link to your comic page worked!!

Anyway, for me, it really varies.

I found that if I thumbnail my pages first, the entire process goes a lot quicker because I already have an idea of the compositions and don't have to fiddle around with everything much.

It also depends on what type of background I'm doing. If one of my characters are speaking and it's just their face, I can whip up a blurred forest background in 10 minutes, but if they're actually interacting with the background, it can take more like 1 or two hours.
