I did a kids book a while back that was in a semi graphic novel format. The illustrator hadn’t done that sort of thing on that scale before so I basically had to storyboard/scamp the whole thing for him cell by cell. It was a fucking nightmare logistically but bins of fun to do and turned out well. I needed to do a lot of artworking on it, to the point where I was very close to giving myself an illustration credit on it :-)

I think I should sell it as "mindful colouring"...it's in these days :P
It takes 3 hours a page on A5... pro artists need a day for drawing, a day for full colour and a few hours for inking. It really does take that long!
And that's why many comics use few tones (that and in the past the printers couldn't hack it, it was too costly etc...) though some euro published comics like the Metabarons are mad work.
