To travel light like this I rely heavily on my 13" iPad Pro which servers as my drawing tablet, design notebook, book reader, second display and more.
Notes
Coding & Development
Design
By now I've written most of my own tools to create pixel art, especially 3D Paint, a program to draw pixel art and automatically convert it into a 3D model.
Media
I edit with iMovie, which I'm in love with for its power/simplicity ratio and the fact that it's free.
For streaming on Twitch I use OBS.
Other
I'm developing a game called Pixel Art Academy, an adventure game where you become an art student and learn how to draw.
I'm very fond of TextExpander, a tool for quickly typing out longer text simply by typing its shortcut.
Special shoutout to Living Worlds, the most beautiful pixel art screensaver ever, as I always have it running on my iPad when it's not in use.
