Studio Practice

You'll learn a simple trial we run before letting any new software near a finished piece, so a tool earns its place rather than just arriving with a trend. By the end you'll have a short set of questions to ask of any program, from a sketching app to a generative model, before it touches your working files.

You'll learn how to keep two different kinds of records side by side, a physical sketchbook and a written log of prompts, so neither one disappears into the other. We share the system we use to find an idea again months later, whichever form it started in.

You'll get a workable way to describe which tools touched your piece and at what stage, written in plain language rather than vague disclaimers. We show you drafts from our own statements so you can see what specific crediting actually looks like.
