Is it common for monthly manga artists to improve at a slower pace than weekly ones? Pic related is the same author 15 years apart between 2 different series

>improve
More like the weekly guy gets 5 assistants and the monthly guy some dude who comes on the 20th to check if he killed himself and maybe help out with the lettering

Mangaka, especially artists working over 15 years, will reach this apex where they have more or less worked out the wonkiness of their art and then either keep everything absolutely consistant to the point where the work itself becomes flanderized- OR they will start trying to draw in a completely other way entirely. The latter is pretty rare. The thing about manga is there is no time to set aside for studying, so it has to be lumped in with the work learning as they go. They don't need to chase infinite improvement when the work is good and can stand on it's own. Manga is a product so "if it ain't broke don't fix it" just tracks for most authors.

That's also the case for Western Comics, European BD, Manhwa and Manhua.

I feel like only /ic/ "artists" are like this, they read books and watch video courses for years but it's never enough, there's always the next book and video course, if they even bother with them because most people here just hoard them...

Why is /ic/ so obsessed with nerdy stuff like this? If you put in time drawing you will automatically improve. But it's really not the important thing.

this is as stupid metric to analyze. drawing is drawing
if you're wondering if you would get better at drawing if you were trying to draw a "chapter' a week vs a "chapter" a month than you should focus on learning your fundies instead.
im assuming you barely draw and don't know how to in the first place
