Live illustration or the art of multitasking / by Camille Aubry

A little insight into my live illustration process with this timeline - this discussion lasted a bit more than an hour. Before a live job, I always prepare a Procreate canvas in advance with various layers: template background, logos, layout, titles, sketching, colours and outline. When the event kicks off I start sketching straight away - I won’t necessarily keep everything in the end, but it helps me getting into the dynamic. At the same time I sketch/write down key thoughts and ideas on my sketchbook in case my Procreate canvas is too busy. At the end of the event, I turn off the layout and sketch layers, and I proceed to potential edits. And… voilà!
