[@MrRobot24]

This was a valuable video. Thanks for breaking everything down and talking out the process. Super inspiring.

[@WestonWoodfin]

Really glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! Thanks for being here!

Hi! Thanks for the video, where do you get all the assets? Just download from internet? Copyright is not a problem? Or do you have some webpages to get it?

[@WestonWoodfin]

There are places all over the internet with images that people scan in. Try places like Flickr, Creative Market, online magazine archives, even reddit has places subs that will link you to collections. Lately, I have been photographing or scanning in my own finds. Literally anything around you can be used and all you really need is a phone camera.

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

@@WestonWoodfinno that is not true. Artists and photographers have copyrights and if you use their images without permission you can be sued. You can use photos that say their are copyright free or if you pay a fee to use. Scanning them yourself is still copyright infringement if you do not have permission. Please be careful, because people can sue you, just like you could sue someone if they took your images and used them without permission

[@WestonWoodfin]

@@ConstantGardener-q9q This entire video is about manipulating images to make them your own. I’m not saying steal artwork from Disney and sell it as your own. You have to use good judgment with all things you create of course. If you are collaging and creating something new it’s very unlikely you would be able to actually be sued. However, I’m not a lawyer. I tend to make my own images for collage or find images that are “fair use” or “copy right free”.

This was an awesome tutorial. I did a few collages last January but left off, so this is going to get me back into it. The shadows add so much more and also changing the perspective of things opens up loads more possibilities that I didn’t think of. Which is what they were missing. You do the leading lines so much better too. Thanks for this awesome tutorial mate. The Finished piece is great!

[@WestonWoodfin]

Thank you Paul! I am glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and good luck with all your collages! Would love to see some.

[@pauljakeman]

@@WestonWoodfin thanks buddy, I’ll get onto making them again soon. Been thinking about maybe getting instagram again so may post them there!

[@jellyfishh5223]

Please do more of these art process videos :D

[@WestonWoodfin]

I should! I didn't expect so many people to find it useful. Perhaps I will make another soon!

[@moxiejournal]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I enjoyed learning some how-to’s and also seeing your creative process. Going back and forth between the screen recording and where you show your hands/whole view was particularly helpful! Subscribed and shared with my little art cohort.

[@WestonWoodfin]

@@moxiejournal Thank you so much Moxie! I appreciate you being here and sharing. Happy you found it useful!

Great video!

[@WestonWoodfin]

Thank you so much for watching brother! ❤️

[@MY.Design_and_Lettering]

Thank you for this video. I really appreciate that you showed us your creative process 😃👌🏽 but I'm wondering. Don't you have the issue that your pictures get blurred after dropping them in procreate? Because I do and have no idea why or what I'm doing wrong. I always try to fix that by "sharpening" the picture again but it always looks kinda weird afterwards. 🤔🤔 do you have any tips on how to avoid that?

[@WestonWoodfin]

Happy to share! I don’t ever have that issue. My first thought is that perhaps you aren’t creating a document size large enough. Make sure your document or artboard is a high pixel count like 2000x2000 with at least 72 dpi!

[@Rowvel]

Very helpful! 😮

[@WestonWoodfin]

Happy to help! 🫡❤️

[@laurencebarth6187]

Hi there! Where can I find the brush you’re using for the shadow of the girl feet plz?

[@WestonWoodfin]

That is the "Idle Letters Pencil Case" Brush Pack! I think it can be found on Creative Market!

[@spacegirl6590]

What’s the kind of copyright territory you’re getting into with the vintage magazines? I don’t want to be getting myself into trouble if I wanted to make some prints of my finished collage.

[@WestonWoodfin]

That’s a good question. Like most things in art as long as you have altered the image enough to make it your own then you should be fine. Obviously don’t just slap someone else’s image on a poster and start selling it, but the more collaging and altering of the image that you do, the more you make it yours! Now, I’m not a lawyer…but as a designer that’s usually how it goes.

[@chickadddee]

Wonderful! So my question is, if I made a collage using these tools and I wanted to print it out larger for my wall ...how big can I go without losing too much detail? How do you know what it looks like at 8x10 or 16 x 24?

[@WestonWoodfin]

Hey there! It’s just a matter of setting up your document or art board to be the size you are intending to print!

[@chickadddee]

@@WestonWoodfin I guess you can't go too large though, depending on the quality of the images you use? Or does Procreate keep the integrity to a point? Sorry I'm a newbie, just subscribed!

[@WestonWoodfin]

So you can go pretty large in procreate. Not sure about what size limit these days, but definitely large enough to print. Quality of the collage will more so come down to the quality of images you are using. If you can use high quality images or scans, you will be just fine printing! Thank you for subscribing by the way!

[@chickadddee]

@@WestonWoodfin Perfect! Great info and very inspiring! Looking forward to learning more, watching more of your videos. Thanks for the help :)

[@BlueLotusLife]

Great video! Are your images jpeg? PNG? Svg? Etc…. Thanks!!!!

[@WestonWoodfin]

Most are just JPEG! Some images I have that I use for the collage are PNG with the backgrounds removed.

[@MuckyMath]

what brush do you use to cut?

[@WestonWoodfin]

Anything with a hard edge to it! I believe I use a Monoline brush in this video!

[@MuckyMath]

@@WestonWoodfin thanks man

[@jakem3617]

Where do you get your images ?

[@WestonWoodfin]

Either photograph or scan my own or find on the internet! I just compile stuff into a folder on my iCloud Drive! There is stuff all over if you look around! Flicker is a good place to find scans too!

[@TheStanman99]

Good video, would have been better if you had gone a bit slower, found it hard to keep up 👏🇬🇧

[@WestonWoodfin]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@TheStanman99]

Good video , just not explaining the process, just to fast..🇬🇧

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

What about copyright?

[@Metalmonkey80]

Who cares
