Hey Patrons! Thank you for another month of support. I thought you guys would be interested in one of my workflows for a commission type I commonly open. I've kept it written down like this on one of the Microsoft Sticky Notes and refer to it frequently in order to maintain a look of consistency between pieces. I also keep a small library with the signature and custom layer styles I utilize to make some of the post-processing effects (particularly the matte board effect).
This is a type of organization I'm trying to prioritize keeping more and more. What I end up with is almost like an assortment of workflow "recipes" for achieving a certain look. This is going to be monumentally beneficial for personal style-guides for projects and working in bulk on similar orders.
Additionally, those of you learning or wanting to experiment can see a step-by-step list and the result all in one go, and possibly gain something from it; be it finishing techniques or ways to start.
Let me know if you like these or have any questions! I'd be happy to answer them and work on providing similar content.
