This schedule is actually very realistic and sustainable. To compare it with manga:
The mangaka do make 16+ pages per week but they have several assistant and mostly use black and white style. Despite that even the top mangaka still need to pull all-nighter, and working in weekend etc. Thats why we often see a manga in hiatus because the mangaka is sick.
Manga with better scheduling is usually the monthly one because they only need to do about 40 pages in a month (with help of assistant ofc). This result in better working condition and personally i think a better story overall as mangaka have more time to do research and plotting story.
Thanks for adding more info to this. I agree completely. Many people do not know how hard working Manga artists are.
There was an entire anime based on this. It's very good, and very informative about the industry. It's called "Bakuman". Actually Trent, you might relate to this because the main characters are making comics professionally in their teens while juggling school. It's one of my favorites. And it explains how mangakas can literally work themselves to death if they aren't careful.
for some information,,,, shotaro ishinomori draw 800 page manga in a month,,,
@@indirwan24 That can't be true.
Thank you for the video!
Also a note: pro mangaka work 1 page a day. It’s scary yes.
Trent’s schedule is much lighter but it’s a really good schedule for everyone who is trying to create a habit working for comics. Much appreciated! :3
The Clean Up Day is my Birthday. XD Thank you for this video. Good template to work from.
Yeah it makes sense to take the "roughs and finishes" approach to pencils and inking if you're doing everything yourself. I'm prepping to start learning coloring soon so I'll use 5-6 hours as a baseline if more than just flats are used on a page.
You are an uncut Martian diamond Trent. Thank you for this guide. :D
I don't think people understand how useful this information is
I kinda use this method when working on my comic. For the last 4 pages I thumb-nailed them, finalized the lines, and then colored them all at once. Working in bulk like this is a definite time saver. Was able to make those 4 pages in just 6 days.
A lot of this can be done on Google calendars as well.
I've been wanting to make a comic for a while not and i always got stuck on the page planning stage having no idea how to go about arranging the panels. Thank you for finally giving me something to go on. I think You're probably the first person I've seen that's been able to break down the process to this degree and I really appreciate that.
Thanks a ton for this, Trent. I was one of those harassing you for a video on this. It's really appreciated. I will probably have to stretch it out to accommodate for the fact that I have a full-time day job and a family at home, but it is a fantastic reference to work from (as well as a very inspirational goal to work towards).
I was just about to start my own 10 page comic before this video haha
Same!! 😆
If you don't mind me asking, what's it about?
just curious.
Mine's a western
@@mashmanga mine's just about a cat walking around haha. im making it to prove to myself that I can actually make a comic because comics are suprisingly difficult to make lol. yours sounds really interesting tho!
@@cringedartist6726 hey that's cool! (I'm not ashamed to say that I've liked many cat comics Lol
Hope you post it somewhere people can see it. And thank you for the compliment.😎
@@mashmanga sure thing 😎 ill be sure to post it when I finish it 😁
I feel like I actually needed this 10000x !
For anyone on windows, I can recommend the program Notion for project management. :)
Thanks for the tip, just got a computer, but it's not a Mac..
So I was at a loss 😂
@@mashmanga check out Thomas Frank for some help with notion if you need it
Anything for Android users?
Some useful info, I may use a combo of the calendar and manager software for the new book.
Thank you for this. I am in the midst of finally getting a comic underway and this helped frame everything so much clearer... I never thought about doing balloons and text first but it makes way more sense than leaving til later and trying to figure out how to fit it all in... seems so obvious now, but had it in my mind that letters and fx are always done last..
I wish I had this kind of consistency. Maybe if I did I wouldn’t be so depressed
I usually get a competed script, rough each scene and then complete that scene before roughing the next. Sometimes it's 10 pages, sometimes it's 3.
Nice. I'll pick up the box set on payday and try to make a short comic along side you! I have a few cool ideas haha. I'll have to drag it out longer though cause I'm already on a project. XD
That was really cool!
This video is super useful! Please more art workflow videos!!!
Haha, that Outro 😂 thanks Trent this was Helpful. 👊😎
This was incredibly helpful for my thesis. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Trent, can you do a video on having more patience. I keep having this problem of not having the patience to finish colouring and rendering my art. Sorry if you have already done a video on this.
My left ear is sad.
I really need to make a schedule for my manga and youtube. Some days I can get 2-3 pages done and a video out, but some days I just draw other things and chill.
This kinda supersized me about scheduling.
Awesome video my dude, just waiting for that gumroad workshop for comics
Trent can we do an open comic initiative for the community to give aspiring artists a launchpad of sorts?
If people want that, I'd do it!
@@TrentKaniuga that'd be really cool to have :D
Im creating my first comic. It's a lot of work, obviously, but it's nice to get an idea of how long i should be working on each stage.
Don't most Manga artists use assistants? I think that definitely affects the schedule. Gotta get me one of those 😉
That's probably how they're capable of making a full chapter with about 16 pages per week. It's crazy even if you count in the assistants and lack of coloring.
You should search up "Day in the life of a Mangaka" by Paulo from Tokyo. It really puts it in perspective
@@slimxshady6111 I've seen it! He has like 8 assistants lol.
Another documentary series that may or may not be harder to find: Manben.
One of my favorite episodes was about a mangaka (Takahashi) that worked all on his own.
at the moment i'm struggling to finish a page a week on my long form webcomic as I have a very strange schedule with the way I work my job etc; I work start to finish page by page right now, though before i start the next chapter I was planning to rework my workflow during my chapter break :) this provides a good guideline to look at, i didn't think about storyboarding panels instead of straight thumbnail pages, i'll definitely have to give that a go! thanks for the tips as always!
what kind of comic page sizes are your favourites to work in when preparing for print? This is more of a personal taste question, I'm not so familiar with printed work :)
Hey, thanks so much for the video!!
I was a bit confused on how you use storyboards for the comics. Are the storyboards meant to show the major focal point/part of each individual page, to get an idea of the feel and look for the pages? How would that incorporated within the panels?
The storyboards are the panels. But you can scale them to be large or small panels because they are just thumbnails capturing the action.
How many pages on a script for a 10 page comic?
👍✨▶️
Hi Trent, I'm just wonder if this a suggested schedule for a full time comic artist? (because I believe a lot of people have a day job but making comic on the side)
and also how much would you recommend to charge for a full color rendered comic page?
What way is great to make a Comic book, on paper or Photoshop
Put your initial ideas down on paper, then scan into photoshop and colour.
It depends on which one works faster and natural for you.
Get some good quality paper( it really does make a difference) and use clip studio paint or Corel Painter instead of Photoshop and know that anyone can create art just so long as you got the passion and the will. Even if you don't make it big, you never know who you're gonna inspire along the way, and the person you inspire just might end up changing the world.
I would throw my two cents except for he had some good suggestions and I'm broke Lol 😆
This art community is pretty awesome and knowledgeable!
Is this good practice of making a comic book
How many pages is acceptable minimum for a comic?
Depends on what you're thinking of honestly, any story can be told as short as you want it to be...
Think of Sunday comics that only use one strip, less than a page. And mini comics are only eight pages, using sheet of folded paper.
But American standard comics are between 21-22 pgs, while one shots can be up to like 40 pages. Manga being close to that.
Good luck! 😎👍
When you're starting out, you should do 8-10 page stories until you build your confidence and prove to yourself that you can finish it.
Yeah that's all fine and dandy. Now do one that involves a 9 to 5 as well =/
This IS the schedule for someone working a 9-5. I run a studio where I manage multiple artists, and Im doing this on the side.
This is very good schedule for that. 10 color pages in 4 weeks is a lot if do it on the side. Yes, you can't progress the story that fast unless you really cram it but this is very sustainable.
@@TrentKaniuga Yeah, my bad. I made my comment before the calendar part, and somehow thought the title said 10 days instead =/
It's still real tight of a schedule. But then, I don't have your mileage yet.
OK, challenge accepted. It took me 3 days to work out the story, but I'll make up for it on the weekend :)
Cheers
@@adroitws1367 Depends on the style and experience among other things, but I'll give it a go.
Though I'll probably scale it down to 5 pages in 2 weeks.
How do you trace your pencils onto paper?
Pls change your intro music.... It is kinda sad and boring
I think its fine.
Lmao
