Quick tip of the day

Snap a pic with a character and use your phone's camera app to have the character sign right on top of the photo. Check out my Instagram post to see an example of that.

?Take a character photo and then have them sign right on it. On iPhone, click the edit icon at the bottom of a pic on your camera roll, then the three dots, then hit the Markup option. Choose a color and draw. (Might also want to change the size of the line to make it finer.)
