Opening
This guide is for illustrators, caricaturists, and designers who already make the work by hand. It is not a prompt pack, and it will not tell you what to charge. The placeholder price on the sales page is a range, not an approved price. Nothing in here is a license, a contract, or a promise about a tool's current plan.
The hand signs it
Keep the original scan in a folder you do not touch. Work on a copy. If you cannot say what a tool changed, do not ship the file.
A useful assistant sorts, cleans, drafts, enlarges, and reminds. It does not sign the picture, greet the guest, or own the client relationship. When a result is the thing you sell or post as your drawing, you should be able to point at the marks you made.
Name the file for what it is. `heads-saturday-scan.tif` is the drawing. `heads-saturday-upscaled.png` is a derivative. Future you, and a client who asks, will need the difference.
The full guide lives in content/products/ai-workflow-guide.en.md. This page shows the opening and the table of contents until checkout is on.
