I think that, (similar to releasing episodes of animated stuff,) they get like a base for each panel prior then finish that and just put it together and post it. I think that's how.
basically. some of them storyboard beforehand (like during season breaks), and also have assistants to help with colouring and stuff. that's why manhwa and manga authors are known for not having the best health unfortunately
Me as a webtoonist, i would say no. But it depends how your team works too i guess. For example, I’m working by myself, and i need to actually make at least 3 to 5 episode more so i won’t caught up in deadline, means if something urgent happened i still have the time to caught for the next episodes… if that’s make sense…
But i think mostly author who have a team, didn’t do that way… who knows(beside they have agency(?) kind of thing, i don’t know things about it since i’m freelancer ╮(￣▽￣)╭)
“what happens if they don't complete it by the date of release”
- They go on hiatus
Not likely what you’re saying. In an interview a very long time ago, Byeonduck the author of painter of the night said she draws them weekly. The agency always asks for it weekly, they basically have the story board, but they can change weekly depending on their mood. You may think these authors do these full time, but NO. Drawing manga is not enough to feed these people, bec of illegal sites like mangago. And the other commenter is right, if they can’t submit this week’s deadline they go on Hiatus, or extend, drawing manga is emotionally, physically, mentally draining.
but won't that cause them trouble with the publisher ?
Trust me, everybody CAN wait even god! If the deadline's missed, it's missed and we make new plans. Nothing more to it.
a genuine question, do authors draw chapters by the week ? won't that be tiring asf ? and what happens if they don't complete it by the date of release
