Ryan Maloney walks through his drawing workflow: research, sketch, inks, colors, shadows, highlights, details. He then shows how to set up character cards in Adobe InDesign, praising its quick duplication and high-resolution export, though Procreate or Photoshop work too.

So let's recap my drawing process. Research, sketch, inks, colors, shadows, highlights, details. Get a set process down so you don't have to think when you go to draw. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. I just made that up. I don't know if that's actually true. And it's sort of not true. It's good to think. Now let's set up the card in Adobe InDesign. You could set up your cards in Procreate, Photoshop, or whatever program you have. I like using InDesign because I can quickly duplicate, change names, numbers, export to high-res files. To me, this is one of the most fun parts of this drawing process.
