How do you organize your files?

Ah, welcome to digital art then! Good luck with figuring out that then, some programs have hidden gems but most have similar functions. Ah that's probably why it's popular on tablets. Well the fact that you use it on pc shows that its available lol. Alright cool, keep it up with what you're doing then.

Such acts are truly fitting for your name.

i mean i upload everything i make so it's categorized by date and time. i make everything together then make it smallest file size possible and upload it to drive.

I have a folder for each chapter, with subfolders in each of them for 1) the files from whichever software I used to draw the comic (usually Photoshop or Flash), 2) the thumbnails for each page, 3) JPEG versions for Webtoons.

I also like to keep random other things, like old versions of comics from when I realized I made a mistake after uploading.

I have folders for each chapter/issue- and the numbered pages inside. Each page usually has a Clip Studio file(the initial pencils/inks), a Photoshop file(the colored page + SPFX), a TIFF file, an Illustrator file(lettering), a PNG file for Tapas, and a JPEG file for Webtoon. I also may have another folder at a later point inside with a version formatted for print.

@thomassayle It's "weevil", but secretly maybe weevils are evil....they do drill holes in nuts and lay their eggs in them, afterall.

Truly a most sinister being to behold

This is how I do it:

Chapter folder
A collection of snippets from the chapter for instagram and other stuff like scripts and/or thumbnails
Clip Studio source files and full resolution exports
A folder with the resized and sliced images for upload to tapas.

As you can see from the checkmarks, I have an account on Mega and it automatically syncs everything I put in the Drawing root folder for auto backups.

Shameless plug
