- A `__Dashboard` note that is meant to be the 'starting point' for the vault.
## Using The Comp Book (Vault)
- Each piece of artwork gets 3 files:
- The source file for use with a drawing app such as Krita
- A PNG or JPG export of the file to ensure notes have a good thumbnail preview of the artwork
- A standard Obsidian note to encapsulate any metadata and notes related to the artwork
- There are a number of templates that can be used to create notes to represent artworks
- See the `Command Palette` and `From Template` items as well as the `_Templates` folder
- Each template will place a new note in the main type of art folder
- Each template will prompt for a number of common metadata items on creation to help auto-fill metadata and other details
- Each template will have a `To Do` section at the top with prompts for additional steps you may want to take
- The newly created notes should have the source file and any png/jpg files attached to help with thumbnails and to help keep files organized
- Once a new note is setup with the desired information it should be moved to an appropriate sub-folder to ensure it's auto-added to an appropriate gallery
- Each gallery uses queries to find the notes shown based on folders
- You do *not* need to manage the galleries directly
- Art works should flow between sub folders as progress is made. For example `Prepped` -> `In Progress` -> `Complete` for order
- The files in the `Notes` section are non-indexed and exist as a generalized list of topics in the file browser. This can be changed to match your preferences.
- The `Ideas - Inspiration` folder does *not* have sub-folders and assumes you'll just keep a list of notes similar to the `Notes` section or adjust this area to match your preferences.
- This file is mean to be a general dashboard and home page for users. The content within should be adjusted, adapted and changed to meet your needs as appropriate and/or desired.
There isn't much more to this vault than stated above. Feel free to explore and adjust this vault as you see fit. This is meant as a rough guide, inspiration and/or starting point.
I use this vault for all my digital art and it's been a huge help for me. I hope it, or a variation of it, can do the same for you.
