process: making new tier illustrations!
🕑 Added 2022-04-21 18:48:47 +0000 UTCupdate: I added a screenshot from my Notion page now that I'm on my PC and not posting from my iPad heheh and I added the final versions of the last two tier illustrations!
Hello my dears! Happy Thursday~ I’m coming at you from a cafe work date with Connor, and I wanted to share what I’m working on - new tier illos!!! My little fruit/sprout kids were very cute! but extremely outdated in terms of my style lol so I got a creative wind the other night and sketched up a few ideas hehe
My process for designing smaller graphics like this (spot illos, emotes, branding stuff, sometimes even full illos tbh) is I will scribble around a whole bunch, like on the second page, and then I will select each sketch that I like and paste it onto a new canvas. I resize it (they’re usually VERY small hah) and then make it red, and draw a finessed version on a layer above the sketch. And then from there I just color in my line work like a coloring book! My April postcard was more “painterly” than I normally do, and it’s a fun/beautiful style, but strong lineart is always my go to when I want to make work kinda quickly. I really like the process/challenge of making sure the qualities I loved in my sketch translate to the final lineart. Sometimes I just use the sketch for lineart if it’s big enough, but I doodle so small that I often gotta copy it over and redo it lol.
Also, there’s a bunch of extra doodles on that sketch page that I ended up using in my new Notion set up !!! I want to use it for a few days to see how it feels, but if it seems to stick, I will absolutely make a casual little Notion tour video for y’all. Because of my ADHD, I need everything to be visible on one page at all times or I’ll never interact with it, so it was a fun challenge to configure it all. >:)
Anywho! Two of the tier images are done, and I’m hoping to finish the last two later today. I’m also gonna finally be cracking into my P.o. box stuff today!! I know y’all said you wanted to see a video of it — because I have a very large backlog (shoutout to executive dysfunction ;;), I don’t think I’d have the bandwidth to edit it too much, so it’d be a very lengthy, mostly ambient video of me opening mail, and showing the camera anything that I feel comfy showing off. Does that sound alright or way too boring? Let me know either way pls!
I hope y’all are having a good day!!! Talk soon xx

As a fellow ADHD wrangler, a notion tour of what works for you sounds amazing.

I would absolutely love a Notion vid!! I’ve heard of it before but I have no idea how to begin or where to start when it comes to configuring. It seems like it would be super helpful for planning out my life 😅
Tanvi
Yesss I'd watch!! I love an unedited vid!

I love the idea of more ambient videos! I work from home, so I honestly enjoy that sort of stuff while I'm working on things
Janie Winter
Aaaaah the ambient king vid sounds AMAZINGGG

by all means if that's how making the video works for you, do that! do what works for you, that's the most authentic thing anyway, and that's why we follow you, for YOU, not performative executive functioning and behind-the-scenes editing that destroys your soul
Shemar
LOL, so true!!
makenzie
i think i echo everyone's opinions in saying that both a notion and a p.o. box video would be so lovely

You could probably film yourself watching grass grow, and we would be happy😊

YAY, I've been hoping you'd do a little Notion tour! I use it, but have been having a hard time figuring out how I want to set it up. I'm excited to see your method!
