Hello Mouse! I am a longtime fan of your comics, your talent amazes me! I want more of these cool comics, I can sit and read them for hours, I had a question how long does it take to draw characters and comics?

aw thank you so much! I really appreciate you telling me!!
as for your question, it's more like two separate questions. Drawing a character can take me anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how much rendering and detail I'm adding. My style is fast and loose, so speed is my goal.
as for comic making, that itself is a bit of a nebulous question, as well. How long does it take me to draw a comic? A couple days, from sketch, to lining, to coloring, to type setting. how long does it take me to write a comic? a year or more lol. The whole process is multifaceted, and I would call myself relatively "fast" at making comics, but I've truly burnt myself out over and over again over the years, so I'm putting comics down for a little bit while I focus on myself for a while. I think speed is the wrong thing to focus on when making comics. I think consistency would be a better goal.
