My Workflow is getting smoother

Today’s drawing went through these steps:

  1. Pencil thumbnail in small sketchbook (done about 2 months ago)

  2. Pencil sketch in production sketchbook, done today. The following steps took about one hour.

  3. Inked with Rotring Tikky

  4. Scanned with Plustek A3 scanner

  5. Airdropped to iPad Pro and re-inked in Sketchbook

  6. Airdropped to iMac

  7. Edited in Photoshop — cleaned up and contrast fixed

  8. Exported to iCloud storage as a PNG

  9. Uploaded to Squarespace

The most important steps in the process is drawing and inking with pen and paper. Working with real things gets my brain in gear. Digital is for fixing things.
