Well,i myself am a yaoi artist,not the best in here tho,but it really depends.
A picture can take from an hour to a day,because it depends on what you draw,are you familiar with the style of drawing,the detail,the precision ETC.
My average time of drawing the picture ranges from 3 to 4 hours,plus 2 to 3 hours on the coloring.
BTW if you add background,add atleast 2 hours on drawing and 3 on coloring,so basicly 1 day of work for a lowgrade picture,for a picture like Anma's or Gnin's i can assume ti takes a week or so @_@
Your more than welcome to look at my work and comment.
Hope this helps you. XOXO ^o^

Edit: Just did a photo with a backround and the time it took for drawing was abt 1.5 hour and the coloring ate almost 1 day @_@ so a hell of alot of work for a lowgrade one xD

I haven't uploaded any here, but it usually takes me between 4 and 12 hours to sketch, 1-2 hours for inking, and an additional 3-4 hours for coloring. Yeah, I'm slow...

It depends upon what you use to draw yaoi. Just drawing with a pencil or pen on drawing paper takes me about 1 to 2 hours,and colouring it with coloured pencils or markers takes an additional hour for me. With digital media,it'd probably take hours or days to complete.

It really depends on how you choose to draw it, I guess. If it's a simple sketch, around 30 minutes for me, and about 3-4 hours for more refined work.

It depends on the content, motivation, if a ref is used, and the character(s). A full piece can take me from 2hrs to 12hrs, or even longer.
