Process PDF Format Poll
Added 2019-08-14 10:00:01 +0000 UTCEDIT :
So, as of today, 05-09-19, we are at 30% PDFs and 60% Videos. Therefore, I have decided I will be working on videos most often, but will upload PDFs every so and then also. Thanks for your votes everyone, you were really helpful!
Hi peeps,
As I mentioned in this update post a few days ago, I wanted to ask you what format you like the most for the Process PDFs.
Here are the pros and cons of each for me, as well as examples of each so you can see what I am talking about :
β¦ PDF :
- Pros :
Most professional looking, downloadable, clean and organised, file independent from Patreon.
- Cons :
Take the most time to put together, I have to remember to take photos and scans of the painting process.
- Examples :

β¦ Step-by-Step Post :
- Pros :
Easier to put together than PDFs, can be a little more informal.
- Cons :
Take a while to put together (but a little less time than PDFs), I have to remember to take photos and scans of the painting process, clunky and difficult to edit, can't include many images, not downloadable.

β¦ Real-time Video :
- Pros :
Easiest format for me to put together (as I don't have to take and edit loads of photos and scans), file independent from Patreon, easier to see the process unfolding, you can put them on in the background.
- Cons :
Not downloadable, takes more time to watch.

If you guys could let me know what format you prefer, it would be a great help!
Thanks everyone,
Take care!

Good to hear, thank you! Videos do seem to be most popular :)
2019-08-26 10:10:20 +0000 UTCAll are helpful, but I think the videos are most appealing because you see it all coming together and hear the explanations as well
2019-08-16 11:08:16 +0000 UTCGreat to know, thank you Chantell! I do enjoy videos too, so maybe I'll alternate the formats, to keep it fresh and varied.
2019-08-15 08:34:47 +0000 UTCI like both, so I might alternate them :) Thank you for your input Jo!
2019-08-15 08:34:15 +0000 UTCI do really like the PDFs too, so I don't think I'll be getting rid of them, I think they are quite nifty and they usually get a good response from everyone. I just think I'll need to reduce their frequency, as they are so much work. Thanks for your input lovely, I hope you are well!
2019-08-15 08:33:55 +0000 UTCThanks Sasha! I like making the videos too, although I always worry that they are too long for people to enjoy watching. But when people like them, they really like them. Thanks for your input!
2019-08-15 08:32:53 +0000 UTCI definitely prefer videos. With just starting to learn gouache i feel like it's much easier to pick up on technique this way
2019-08-14 13:01:24 +0000 UTCpdf, or video, whichever is easiest for you
2019-08-14 11:33:15 +0000 UTCI really do prefer the PDF's (hense my vote for PDF) but at the same time if it's too much work for you to put them together Do what you need to do (whatever is best for you is the important thing)
2019-08-14 11:20:50 +0000 UTCI love videos, as long as itβs not too much work/stress for you to do. π
