Here's a question for all you digital artists out there…

How do you organize your "digital sketchbook", if you have one? Or, how do you deal with doodling and possibly having dozens of files of random things lying around?

Personally, I make a Comic file in :clip_studio_paint: and use it like a sketchbook. I add "pages" as needed, but the comic file format keeps it all organized. When a sketch gets more serious, I can then copy it into its own document/file to finish without worrying about the other sketches cluttering up the page. (The only annoying thing with this is you have to have the expensive version of CSP to use their comic files…)

Been playing lots of the Ace Attorney Investigations games on my Switch, which means I'm spending a lot of time staring at this guy. Thought I'd draw him to test some more of my tablet drawing setup and get him out of my head a little. :da_sweat:

(Let's just pretend he has better handwriting than me, shall we?)

:objection:

Question for all the Freelance Digital Artists and Illustrators out there working in videogames or TTRPGs;

When cold emailing to pitch your work to small studios, or posting your portfolios online, do you share your Discord handle to facilitate communication? or do you just use Email?
