April Sketchbook Still Coming Out (Patreon)

Still having fun with this idea, and gonna make a few good pics out of it too.

I'm considering the format pretty carefully. Since I don't really wanna constrain any one image to certain dimensions I probably can't use a PDF format. Maybe I could make a PDF on the side so I can talk about the pieces and each one has a title. But along with the PDF, you get high resolution versions of each of the images.


I don't quite know whether to watermark them or not though. I usually shy away from watermarks but this might be a necessary thing since I'm planning on selling this sketchbook. And since there are a couple other artists involved, I'd like to give them credit where it's due.


You guys will absolutely get the pictures I've made in high resolution in the high res drop box. I'll probably put in the PDF as well. I would need to talk to the other people joining this little project about that though.


It's a lot of things to consider! And I'm just thinking out loud right now. I've gotta run unfortunately. See ya later.

Hmm. Nothing inherently wrong with watermarking, really. It's easy to do it in a way that's really obtrusive, but with a little care it can be obvious and readable and still not harm the image much.

Adding to the subject of watermarks being intrusive: the less intrusive the watermark is, I believe that the odds of it being smudged out and removed decreases remarkably. While it's easy to remove a "humble" watermark, a symbolic watermark that is most preferable so that it's not obnoxious to have in view - if you want the work to be seen and spread out and viewed by many but still have the watermark there to tell people where it came from, I think it's simply better to keep it simple and base it on the trust that you post every image with instead of leading people into thinking that it's obnoxious and feel inclined to remove it. Sure, a considerably more obnoxious watermark can exist so that it makes it harder to keep details clean if you try to remove it with, say, photoshop, and it'll be pretty easy to spot that it's been manipulated, but in the end that's what people will be seeing instead of the original artwork: an intrusive logo/obnoxious-watermark or a manhandled piece of artwork. Keeping it small and simple could do yourself a greater favour than one that's just to say "I am trying to get more corporate and protect everything, and I will do it blatantly and to annoy you". One option is more sympathetic to the people you're trying to reach with it, than the other, is what I'm trying to say. In the end, what I say maybe shouldn't be representative for any majority or minority, but these are my speculations.

Wew, that image on the left. Got a thing for leopard prints.
