I'm a Promiscuous Polytooler
I use wide variety of different tools and apps for different kinds of
visual creations. I'm not wedded to any one tool in particular – they
all have their strengths and weaknesses. I'll use whatever fits the
task at hand and move work between them liberally.

1. Illustrated notes
Anything I make that has a painterly and loose hand-drawn feel was made
in Procreate on the iPad or Photoshop on the Wacom Cintiq. Or probably
a combination – it's easy to move files back and forth between the two
and the tools they offer are very similar.

Both of these applications allow you to draw in “raster” graphics,
meaning you paint pixels onto a canvas. They require a decent level of
hand-skills to make sure your lines aren't wobbly, although both
applications have smoothing features to help with that.

When I'm in Procreate I use a small selection of brushes I've gathered
over the years. It's hard for me to remember where they're all from,
and I've customised the majority of them to suit my personal prefs.
Most of them were originally from Max Ulichney's brushes. I have the
essentials set ($2), the painters set ($8), and the comics set ($15),
and can vouch they're all great.

I move these pieces to Photoshop if I want to work on a larger screen,
or have accidentally enlarged the canvas to a 14000px wide sprawling
set of sketches that Procreate can't open without crashing.

2. Polished vector illustrations
Illustrations that look more “polished” are made primarily in Adobe
Illustrator, with a touch of Photoshop at the end for lighting effects
and texture.

These illustrations are all vector-based, meaning we use mathematical
curves to define their shapes, rather than painted pixels. Vectors are
great for create hard, crisp edges and working with perfect geometric
forms.

While I love vectors for laying down the foundation shapes of these,
I'll move them over the Photoshop once they're 90% done to adjust the
colors, add more subtlety to the lighting and shadows, and chuck a bit
of texture on the top so they feel more tangible.
