#ArtWorkflow

We're Sharing Our Checklist!

Okay friends, let's have a moment of honesty here—balancing actual art-making with content creation has been kicking our collective butts for AGES. 😩

We've been right there in the trenches with you: staying up late trying to photograph work in terrible lighting, forgetting to document our process until it's too late, and then panicking when we have nothing to post for weeks. It's been a JOURNEY.

After much trial and error (and honestly, some tears), we've finally put together a workflow that doesn't make us want to throw our phones into the sea. We're still learning and adjusting as we go, but this simple checklist has been an absolute game-changer for us.

What we've learned:

Capturing content while creating is WAY easier than trying to stage things later

Setting up just 2 batch days a month saves our sanity

Having content pillars means never staring at a blank screen wondering what to post

We can turn one piece of art into multiple posts without feeling repetitive

The best part? This system takes just 40 minutes a day (and most days even less).

We're sharing our exact workflow checklist—not because we're experts, but because we're all figuring this out together. If you're also an artist struggling to maintain a consistent content presence while, you know, actually making art, come join us on this messy but rewarding journey!

New blog post up on the site! Have you ever wondered whether your should get an iPad or a display tablet like the Wacom Cintiq? In this post I go in-depth in the similarities and differences between the two!

Though I'd overview my workflow. The four major steps for each episode of my #webtoons. Breaking it up like this can help portability, division of labor, and iteration.⠀ #webcomics #artworkflow #photoshop #comics #comicart #art #mangaart #processart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7XljUBRKX/?igshid=197i6dclxlkrt

The Technical Side of Pattern Magic

Hello! 👋

Ever stared at a gorgeous seamless pattern and wondered "How do they DO that??" Well, we've been there too! After countless hours of trial and error (and maybe a few design disasters 😅), we're spilling all our technical tea about creating seamless repeat patterns.

We're breaking down:

🎯 Grid systems that actually make sense

🎨 Resolution secrets for different applications

✨ Advanced repeat methods that'll blow your mind

🛠️ Workflows that save hours of headaches

⚡ Troubleshooting tips for when things go wrong

Because let's be real - pattern design isn't just about making pretty motifs. It's about understanding the technical magic that makes everything click together perfectly!

Whether you're struggling with those tricky half-drop repeats or trying to figure out why your prints aren't coming out right, we've got your back in this post. We're sharing everything we've learned (often the hard way!) about taking patterns from screen to final product.

Want to dive into the nerdy details with us? Check out our complete technical guide: Creating seamless repeat patterns

Because we believe technical excellence doesn't limit creativity - it just makes it safer! 💫
