 Digital art may be 'rigid' and 'not notebook friendly' but this Obsidian vault can wrangle things into a digital notebook that's similar in feel to a paper composition book / journal. It's not perfect but it works well with the constraints 'digital' imposes.

+## 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.

+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.
