Hi Terry,

It’s really hard to give a number to that because it really all depends. A scene needs to be “as long as it needs to be” to explain the action. Though on average, a scene can run anywhere from one to three or four panels.

You want a variety of scenes in any given sequence for a portfolio, but a specific number doesn’t really matter. For argument’s sake, let’s say 8 to 12 scenes maybe. A long as some variety is shown and the page count isn’t too high, you should be fine.

Hope this helps a bit.

Out of curiosity how many pages per scene should a portfolio contain? And how many different scenes do you include?

Hey ya Karen,

Thanks heaps for this informative and helpful site. You’d be surprised how hard it is to find anyone willing to give such good advice on this subject in Western Australia….not to mention for free. ; )

You’re a generous Artist, thank you. : ) -Seych

Hi LudO

Yes, for advertising they do a lot of boards in color. So I guess teaming up with another artist as a colorist would be a great idea.

It keeps them free to keep doing what they do best and hand off that ‘busy work’ to someone else. Which is usually someone who would love that work anyway. So it’s a win-win.

I just don’t work in advertising, so I don’t talk too much about it. But yes, go for it.
