I saw you recommend The Last Duel on Instagram the other day so I gave it a watch this past weekend, and it was fantastic! The performances were amazing and it's rare for a "final fight" of a movie to be that emotionally charged. Hell of a story.
Quick question about your work as well. How long does it take you get from thumbnail to finished gray tone art, on average?
Glad you liked it! Yeah, the final battle is a great moment because it's so charged with story, characters and emotion. I found myself nervous while watching it.
As I've written in previous newsletters, I work in batches, penciling a group of pages in its entirety before inking the same pages. And before that, I thumbnail all of them, etc. But, in average, I'd say that thumbnailing a page can take anywhere from just a few minutes to 30 minutes, penciling can sometimes take just a couple of hours in simpler pages (faces for dialog) or more than a day (very complex panels full of characters and backgrounds). Inking is usually half a day or more (depending on the same things as penciling) and grey tones as well.
So, overall, I'm confident to say I could produce most pages from zero to a finished piece in two days or less. The simpler ones in even less than a day.

That's great, thanks Andre!
