Simple question, though I'm not sure if this is in the right place. For those of you who are doing (semi) regular manga/comic pages how long does it take for you to draw (not write), from thumb-nailing, to drawing,to lineart and colouring/toning, one whole comic page and what process/ tools do you use?

Working how many hours a day?Originally Posted by ClockHand
I sleep 5 hours.
3 or 4 pages a day is pro level, You have to reach that speed if you want to be a comic maker as your job, for now I'm not computing the time.
Atleast I'm giving my self a deadline to finish this 54 pages before christmas.
It depends on motivation and urgency... (for me at least)
If pages HAVE to be done, i can get 2 pages completely finished from sketch to ink/tone/text in about 12 hours. Probably more if i start literally as soon as i get out of bed and end as I'm going to sleep at night.
If there is no motivation or urgency, maybe 3 pages a week OTL
Wait, how many panels per page? Because some people do 3 panels per page and yeah that is easy, I can do 3 or 4 of those in a day, but others (as I'm working right now) do 5 to 7 panels per page.
Forever, because I lack discipline and willpower. ;(
Usually off of the research I did a while ago,
Pro - About 3-4 pages within a day,1 day for inking(depending how many panels,etc) about 1/2 - 1 day for this too (also 4 pages),and toning would be half a day....So even at pro level,to make A completed page - would be a whole day...but 4 would take about a week,and for a whole chapter would be around 2 weeks give or take.
Ameatur/Just starting out - Itd take about 1 1/2 day for 1 page(sketch),prob 1 day for inking,and prob. a day for toning,so 1 page per 2-3 days for an average Newbie.Again this isnt fact,just what Ive done my Homework on!
Change this up if it isnt correct!XD
When I was doing my comic, it was really about the art style I chose. Therefore I could crank out at least a max of about five pages in a day, each taking a few hours using MangaStudio, PS, and SBP.
