Page speed going from 1 page per day to 3 pages per day would literally make the difference between a 200 chapter manga in Shounen Jump taking 4 working years versus a little over 1 working year.

Literally gonna pin this on the top of my Playlist and rewatch daily as I muscle through the comic I'm currently working on. Thanks for lighting the fire under our lazy butts Trent!

This is good advice for anyone…including pros. If you want original art…use this method as preproduction they blow up those pages to final size and ink everything. If you draw in black ink digitally too, you’ll see more more clearly what you need to refine in the final real world original art. That will help your eyes/thinking process of what needs to be fixed/done. This is actually a great video for all aspiring comic book artist. Well done!!!

Approaching it as a sequence instead of focusing on page count is really good advice.

Personally, the way I like to approach it is, rather than commit to a specific page, I'll rough out an entire chapter then jump from page to page to work on the panels I'm really feeling that particular day. Sometimes that means I finish no pages in a day, completely, other days it means I'll bank up to 10.

It is something I learned from the old pros on how to burn through pages because they had a hell of a deadline, it is how I wound up with 350+ page buffer with my webcomic.
Also people don't want to hear this, but old pros use to have a day job or a part time job because comics didn't pay that much even back then.

I can testify to what Trent is saying, I'm a big John Byrne fan who is famous for doing three pages a day, back in 94 I pushed myself to produce three pages of panel art, for the first few days the pages were basic, but over the next few weeks I began producing detailed final layouts, I managed up to two and a half fully detailed pages a day, they do say if you want to reach the moon you should aim for the stars.

[freddytownstowns]

I can't draw three pages in a day, but I can sketch out 16 and lose my flow the next day if that counts

[Badboybarz]

Really nice advice here sir.. started taking commissions and drawing for local and indie publishers last year.. I'll definitely be putting this into practice

[the_guy_who_cant_draw]

I've been practicing making pages and my initial instinct is always to plan a full chapter in a day and then do 2 - 3 pages a day.

[kayaeki]

Trent is such an inspiring artist! Your work is amazing!

[alexielmarquay]

You actually made me believe I can manage to make a comic book.
Thank you!

People used to think it was impossible to run a mile in under four minutes. Mental barriers can be really powerful if we let them!

[dezzdinn]

I like the days when I go from Color with Kurt to your vid and keep the learning and art talk going

[chaotic_tired]

The OP comic artist, i need two days to make like 2 panels right now but he has a point

[Corterri-Art]

I like how you're not drawing your line-art on a new layer above the sketch, you're just cleaning up your sketch and it gives me hope because my line-art is complete garbage when I retrace over my sketch.

[fanartfanatic]

this video was a blessing in disguise, thank you for posting this.
i think I'll be re-watching this video until i can figure out a schedule for doing my comics, THANK YOU

[albinothunderbuns]

1:37-2:21 I take the same approach to writing. If I get stuck, I give myself a time limit to work through it. If I'm still stuck, I put that page aside and work on something else. I'll return to that problem area later, when I have a fresh perspective.

My productivity increased quite a bit after trying that method, and I stopped feeling like I was wasting time on those pages where the problem's solution kept eluding me.

[andygorman]

Dude, that was awesome! I feel inspired to tackle something I would never have tried earlier. Like the idea of using pre rendered scenes to start new scenes, makes a lot of sense in not re-inventing the wheel so to speak. Thanks man!

[Lobollipop]

Everytime I see a video of yours talking about being an artist in general I always think "men that's a lot of hard work I dont want to do...", but I must, and I'm starting to belive that I can do it. I dont know how to be a concept artist but I think that's what I want to do and I'll try hard to be one. I'm currently working as a comic artist and not sure if I want to be a concept artist or an ilustrator, but I'll figure it out and I'll do what is needed to have a healthy life being a professional artist

[chidoliro]

You are amazing!!!! Thanks fore shearing and so much!!!!
