Wow, Maple. You’ve explained to me in person how In Design and Fresco are helpful to your process, and truthfully I didn’t fully get it (my fault 😬). Now I do. Your step-by-step breakdown is really helpful! Thanks
Ich finde digitales Zeichnen interessant, habe selbst aber noch nie digital gezeichnet oder Animationen gemacht, habe auch keine entsprechende Software. Ich zeichne nur pur mit Stift oder male mit Pinsel und Farben, oder fertige in der Werkstatt Lithografien an. Skizzen habe ich massenweise, auch Hefte, aber meist Zettel in Klemm-Mappen geheftet, da man diese schnell bereit hat als Vorlage für ein zu malendes Bild.
Thanks for sharing! I enjoy drawing and painting manually, too. I do that on sketchbooks. For projects, it largely depends on the turnaround time. If it's too big a rush, I usually go for digital. 🙂
I do everything in Procreate. I'm always tempted to switch to Fresco, but I just like Procreate and I'm used to it. I convert my art to CMYK in Photoshop because I don't trust Procreate's CMYK.
I'd love to be able to lay out my own pages in InDesign, but for both of my GNs the graphic designer did it. I'm not sure he was the most efficient at it. He put in the text, so I don't have high res files with the text on them. I thought that if I put in the text (which I did) I could save it as a PSD file and he could drop it into InDesign with the text intact. That didn't seem to be the case for reasons that were never explained.
I love this! Thanks for sharing, David. I'm the opposite – never got the hang of Procreate. It is a super powerful app, though. I know lots of colleagues also use it for their GN / picture book projects. 😊
This is really cool to see. Thank you for sharing! I also work in Procreate, but it makes it hard to add text and be very precise with layout, so I often crave an InDesign element to my process…Maybe Adobe will win me back one day for this reason 😆. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing too, Maddy! I completely hear you. I tried Procreate, but the text situation made it really hard for me. Adobe is great, but oof, their subscription is expensive. Hoping one day for a better solution. 🙂

Yay! I'm so glad they are helpful! 😀
I love seeing this process, Maple - and the art for the Zine is looking so friggin’ cute!
Big thanks, Eliza! 😊

Yes! Agreed on both!
